Abstract
The analytical focus of this paper is my belief that the USMC is following an outdated pedagogy in its efforts to
teach resiliency. I will demonstrate this by establishing a core understanding of resiliency and explain how the
medical community's shift in understanding care has impacted resiliency training. Further, I will argue that
aspects gleaned from peer-reviewed, clinically-trialed psychological practices in cognitive behavioral change
provide us insight into how to approach resiliency training. I will then discuss the hurdles inherent in the USMC
in implementing an effective resiliency program. Finally, I will outline how resiliency training should be
constructed to truly build a more resilient force.
