Major Combat Operations (MCO) / MCO1

Let us first begin with some of my favorite quotes.
1. Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable. (George S. Patton)

2. There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. (Colin Powell)

3. Prepare for the plan to hit the preverbal fan, then act on your training so that you win the fight. let others for the time being win the war. (CPOPRIDE)

4. Maneuver with purpose, engage with overwhelming force, dominate with violence of action and break the will of the enemy with the prospect of a vicious death. (CPOPRIDE)

5. Remember being the hammer can be a chaotic endeavor necessitating the need for enormous resources in order to wheel. Sometimes all that is needed is the accuracy of a well-executed cut by scalpel, generally sufficient to ensure success. (CPOPRIDE)

The remaining refinements of the Manifesto are under development. However below are the key points of Ideology, Commanders Intent, and Mission Statement.

• Ideology
