Buying at the Speed of War: Leveraging Commercial Technology to Gain the Advantage

This brief frames WWR not just as a support entity, but as a readiness enabler, preserving combat power, reinforcing the Marine Corps’ commitment to its people, and ensuring no Marine is left behind during recovery or transition.

The Analysis and Assessments Branch (A&AB) facilitates rapid learning and adaptation across the Marine Corps by collecting, analyzing, and disseminating lessons learned to inform training and operational readiness decisions. Through rigorous, data-driven analysis and targeted assessments, A&AB quickly identifies trends, gaps, and best practices, enabling the force to adapt to emerging challenges. The branch leverages advanced analytical tools, predictive modeling, and collaborative processes like the Trend Reversal and Reinforcement Process (TRRP) and Assessment Working Group (AWG) to accelerate the resolution of systemic issues. By supporting concept and requirements development, experimentation, wargaming, and continuous feedback loops, A&AB ensures that insights are rapidly translated into actionable changes. Ultimately, A&AB empowers the Marine Corps to learn faster and adapt more effectively, strengthening training and operational readiness in a dynamic environment.
