Book excerpt: The Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 5-1(MCWP 5-1) was published in January 2000 and is the principle planning manual in the Marine Corps. However, the new process is directed at too high of a level to be the principle planning doctrine for the lower level units. Therefore, I have developed two appendices to the MCWP 5-1 to improve the document's relevance to the regimental and battalion level. The two appendices are: 'The Accelerated Marine Corps Planning Process (AMCPP) and Rehearsal Types, Techniques, and Considerations'. The AMCPP is a technique for scaling MCPP to operationally realistic time constraints. However, it is not just doing MCPP fast. The AMCPP hinges on the commander, with the advice of his staff, making a decision very early in the process, then improving the decision with the remainder of the process. The end result is a solid and flexible plan that can be executed rapidly. At the regimental and battalion level, rehearsals are the key to achieving an implicit understanding of the plan and improving the probability for success. However, this portion of the planning process is often squandered due to poor rehearsal technique, or failure to target the rehearsal to the appropriate audience. Therefore, this appendix offers several rehearsal techniques and planning considerations that if adopted will enhance the doctrinal instructions in this area.
