> Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3 Rifle Marksmanship
Not nearly as sobering, but I found the MCDP series on USMC doctrine fairly enlightening. Friction, Centers of Gravity, and a heavy importance on Logistics have been concepts that served me well in IT and project mgmt.
- gmays 6y agoYou might specifically mean Warfighting, MCDP 1. That's the first book we read as new Lts. and has stuck with me over a decade later and served me well in tech.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoThere were 6 MCDP handbooks -- I helped edit a re-release of #6 as a policy intern/college student after getting out of the USMC.

But I agree with parent's point -- MDCP #1 Warfighting is pretty good. If you're a military nerd all 6 are great, but if you're just going read one of them then definitely stick to Warfighting.
