MCDP 1
19 Sep 2017
6. Did this book inspire you to want to do more research on the subject?
Why? Why Not?
The book caused me to consider the implications of the principles of
Warfighting as they relate to being a leader, something which I am constantly
trying to improve through further study.
8. Does the subject of the book affect your life? If so, how? If not, why
not?
As the mission of the U.S. Marine Corps is primarily to fight and win
battles, anything I do must be in support of that. Therefore, understanding
the principles of warfighting would help me better perform my duties.
11. Does the author offer solutions to the problems raised in the book? How
probable is their success? Can you think of additional solutions?
The book offers perspectives with which one can use to solve problems,
since every situation will have unique problems and cannot all be addressed
in this book. For example, Because we can never eliminate uncertainty, we
must learn to fight effectively despite it.
12. If you were to talk with the author, what would you ask him or her?
Since twenty years have passed since MCDP 1 was published, is there
anything relevant to these times that could be added if there were to be a
new publication?
13. Have you read the authors other books? Can you discern a similarity (in
theme, writing style, structure, etc.) between them, or are they completely
different?
I have not read anything else by General Gray, although I have read
other Marine Corps publications. Marine Corps publications tend to have a
rather straightforward style of writing.
14. After reading this book, have your views on the subject changed? Why?
Why not?
My views of war and warfighting have not really changed, but I am
excited to see how I can apply the principles of warfighting to this point of
my life.
