Abstract
The Marine Corps is in an unprecedented period of reorganization and strategic focus. The Contingency Contracting Force (CCF) provides a critical capability of supporting operating forces and a continuously highly trained force is necessary to execute the Marine Corps mission. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the perceptions of the CCF structure in III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) during the year 2023 and determine if the III MEF workforce is properly structured to meet the demands of force design 2030. This study includes interviews with key CCF Marines who are currently with III MEF. This research provides the perceptions and opinions of key III MEF contracting professionals and provides recommendations to optimize the III MEF workforce.
