As we observe the increasingly rapid rate at which the character of warfare is changing, the Marine Corps obligation to confront these challenges head-on becomes ever more critical. Marine Aviation must lead the Service’s efforts to proactively evolve our platforms, personnel, and operating concepts to sustain our warfighting edge. The Deputy Commandant for Aviation (DCA) will host the 2025 Marine Aviation Readiness and Operations Summit (MAROS) at the Hyatt Regency Dallas in Dallas, TX from 12-16 May 2025. 2. The focus of this year’s MAROS is the 2025 Marine Aviation Plan and the continued efforts to modernize our fleet while embracing innovative concepts and fostering a digital data-centric culture. DCA’s intent for MAROS 2025 is to capture Operational Advisory Group (OAG) needs then align and prioritize them to ensure Marine Aviation continues to deliver unrivaled maneuver, firepower, tempo, and multi-domain integration. 3. MAROS is intended to allow subject matter experts from within Marine Aviation to conduct annual meetings in one centralized location. MAROS consolidates and synergizes efforts previously held at different times and locations, reducing aggregate costs and enabling one forum that allows a professional exchange of information on topics essential to Marine Aviation to include readiness, aviation programs, warfighting lessons learned, professional development, and tactics. 4. OAGs are directed to conduct the majority of their community’s work prior to MAROS. MAROS is intended to be a venue where senior leader guidance, cross-community discussions, and industry engagement can be used to provide refinement to OAG deliverables. The OAG out briefs at MAROS will be in the form of info-only briefs to senior leaders that will inform follow-on conversations and future community initiatives. Decision briefs requiring MAB approval must be coordinated with HQMC Aviation via separate correspondence through the appropriate HQMC AVN Branch Head. 5. All MAROS events will take place in conference rooms at the Hyatt Regency Dallas, 300 Reunion Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207. 6. Overview of events. A separate and more detailed schedule, to include registration, will be sent out from each POC listed in paragraph 10. 7. Uniform will be smart casual (polo/collared shirt, sport coat optional) for meetings taking place during normal working hours at the Hyatt Regency Dallas. DATE    EVENT
