Abstract
In 2020, Marine Corps Order 4151.22 and Commandant White Letter 2–20 was published to implement Condition-Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) as a ground maintenance strategy to improve operational availability and reduce life-cycle costs. The Fleet Marine Force is still operating under preventative and corrective maintenance strategies instead of CBM+ strategies. Organizational inertia, such as competing priorities, legacy processes, and inspections, has slowed the integration of CBM+ strategies. We reviewed key policy documents and interviewed fifteen subject-matter experts relevant to Marine Corps ground transport maintenance policies and practices. Based on this information, we conducted a thematic analysis using an organizational change approach to identify barriers and opportunities that impact CBM+ implementation. We found that immediate gains from CBM+ implementation in the Marine Corps can be achieved through a focus on people and process improvements while technology integration continues. The CBM+ strategy supports Force Design 2030 and Talent Management 2030 objectives and emphasizing this alignment can build momentum for CBM+. In this paper, we make six specific recommendations that apply organizational change concepts to enable effective CBM+ implementation as a ground maintenance strategy in the Marine Corps.
