Civilian and military leaders discuss mutual issues
By: Lance Cpl. Christopher Duncan
MCB QUANTICO, Va. (March 3) -- Twenty-four senior leaders from Marine Corps Base Quantico and the surrounding community gathered at The Clubs At Quantico today to discuss the six core competencies of the Marine Corps and how the community is involved and affected.
John Rosewarne, head, business performance office discussed the upcoming table top exercise this summer. The purpose of the exercise is to ultimately aid in developing relationships and understanding issues that affect the many regions around Marine Corps Base Quantico. Community planners will be invited to take part in this exercise.
Lt. Col. Galbraith, Director of the Quantico Public Affairs office, addressed the many ideas and concepts surrounding the core competencies which are:
1. Persistent forward naval engagement, integrated combined arms
2. Forces and specialized detachments for service with the Navy
3. Joint forcible entry from the sea
4. Complex expeditionary operations
5. Lead joint and multinational operations and enabling interagency activities.
Much of the discussion at the luncheon was rooted in the changes and improvements to the communication efforts with the communities surrounding Quantico in an effort to strengthen relationships and provide support for the base’s ability to accomplish the six core competencies.
“We want to engage the community and see what impacts the people living in them,” said Col. Daniel Choike, base commander here at Quantico. “We have to articulate why Quantico is here and how that relates to the core competencies.”
“We need to be transparent on many projects involving Quantico,” said Choike. “Working together is going to benefit all of our missions in the end by allowing us to provide support where it’s needed.”
The quarterly civilian-military luncheons and evening socials provide a great forum for the community and the base to come together to discuss items of mutual interest.
