Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The Marine Corps University symposium, "Counterinsurgency
Leadership in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond" held on September 23,
2009 at the National Press Club, Washington, DC explored ways to
improve counterinsurgency leadership, with particular attention to
the leaders of American, Afghan, and Iraqi forces.
The Symposium was sponsored by Marine Corps University and the
Marine Corps University Foundation.
Since the September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon, the United States has been at war with Al-Qaida. Over the
past 10 years, counterterrorism efforts have disrupted its main
training facilities and eliminated much of the core leadership
structure, including the mastermind Usama Bin Ladin. Despite this,
Al-Qaida has proved resilient. While the core leadership has been
compromised, regional Al-Qaida offshoots and affiliated Islamist
terrorist groups have formed, developed, and become prominent in
their own right. To aid in examining and explaining Al-Qaida's
trajectory, the Minerva Initiative at Marine Corps University
hosted a conference in the spring of 2011, just days before Bin
Ladin's demise. The panels at this conference addressed diverse
issues such as Al-Qaida's overarching strategy; the degree of
control that central Al-Qaida leadership maintains over regional
franchises; and the strategies, tactics, successes, and failures in
each theater of operation. The resulting papers in Al-Qaida after
Ten Years of War contribute to the ongoing and ever-evolving net
assessment of Al-Qaida and its future prospects, and they help
inform the crafting of a war termination phase with Al-Qaida.

The focus of Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) is the
personal development of each Marine in a team framework using a
standardized, trainable, and sustainable close combat fighting
system. As a weapon-based system, all techniques are integrated
with equipment, physical challenges, and tactics found on the
modern battlefield. The MCMAP is designed to increase the
warfighting capabilities of individual Marines and units, enhance
Marines' self-confidence and esprit de corps, and foster the
warrior ethos in all Marines. The MCMAP is a weapon-based system
rooted in the credo that every Marine is a rifleman and will engage
the aggressor from 500 meters to close quarter combat. The MCMAP:
Enhances the Marine Corps' capabilities as an elite fighting force.
Provides basic combative skills for all Marines. Applies across the
spectrum of violence. Strengthens the Marine Corps warrior ethos.
The motto of MCMAP best states the essence of the program: "One
mind, any weapon." This means that every Marine is always armed
even without a weapon. He is armed with a combat mindset, the
ability to assess and to act, and the knowledge that all Marines
can rely on one another. The Marine Corps was born during the
battles that created this country. Drawing upon the experiences of
the first Marines, we have developed a martial culture unrivaled in
the world today. This legacy includes not only our fighting prowess
but also the character and soul of what makes us unique as Marines.
This training continued to evolve up to World War II. During these
early years, the leadership and core values training that are our
hallmark today developed in concert with the martial skills.
The study of leadership is broad, complex, and multidisciplinary in
nature. Aspects of Leadership brings together scholars from
different disciplines and practitioners from a broad variety of
backgrounds to address three key areas: Ethics, Law, and
Spirituality. The essays in this book are intended to inform
leaders, and the general public, about the challenges of ethical
decision making, the application of the law of war, and the
important role of spirituality. Aspects of Leadership will educate
readers and generate important questions that leaders should ask
themselves, encouraging them to reflect upon their pivotal roles in
these three areas.
