In 2012, the Marine Corps Plans, Policy, & Operations Branch published the Marine Corps Approach to 21st Century Theater Security Cooperation. Highlighted in this document is the Commandant of the Marine Corps' charge to develop innovative ways for the Marine Corps to conduct Theater Security Cooperation. The Marine Corps can meet this challenge and improve Theater Security Cooperation activities with the establishment of a headquarters Command element for SPMAGTF-SCs. This additional organizational structure change will allow the Marine Corps to conduct more effective Theater Security Cooperation engagements during the post Iraq and Afghanistan Wars period. This subject is relevant because security cooperation enables access and promotes U.S. interest abroad. By establishing nonrotational, standing Security Cooperation MAGTF headquarters, to plan and administer security cooperation activities, the Marine Corps will improve its ability to support the Geographic Combatant Commanders.
