The character of war is increasingly defined by the speed and accuracy of decision-making. As outlined in the references, the Marine Corps’ ability to achieve cognitive overmatch – to out-think, out-decide, and out-pace our adversaries – is critical to the success of Force Design and our ability to prevail in strategic competition. 1.B.
