<p>The purpose of this Joint Applied Project was to investigate and provide appropriate  recommendations to the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) on how  to most effectively train first-time military acquisition professionals in the Defense  Acquisition System. This research was conducted with the support and assistance of  MARCORSYSCOM's Workforce Management and Development office, as well as  support from individuals representing both the Naval Postgraduate School and Florida  Institute of Technology. The goal of this project was twofold. First, the research was  aimed at conducting cost-benefit and gap analyses of the various training opportunities  available to current and former acquisition professionals. Data collection for this was  conducted primarily though a survey sent to current and former military officers filling  acquisition billets. After determining the course providing the command the best value,  the research focused on identifying opportunities to address the residual gaps in training.  Recommendations to address residual gaps were then identified and documented for the  future use of MARCORSYSCOM.
