The United States Marine Corps Warfighting Lab will conduct an Advanced Warfighting Experiment (AWE) as part of the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) July 9 - 14, 2014. As threats to America's global interests evolve and manifest in new ways, the Marine Corps will step out smartly to assess its own methodologies, composition and equipment requirements to ensure effectiveness in a rapidly changing environment. The AWE is part of the Marine Corps' commitment to rebalance and posture itself for future security environments around the world.
