<p>The Marine Corps finds itself increasingly fighting an elusive, adaptive and decentralized enemy. Facing this type of  decentralized enemy suggests the Marine Corps embrace a more decentralized approach to conventional military  operations. One of the strategies that the USMC has been introducing is Distributed Operations (DO) that will enable  meeting the need of commanders to fight a highly decentralized engagement. DO require that the Marine Corps add  to its conventional skills the additive ability to decentralize decision making and an ability to distribute the force when  it is tactically advantageous to do so. Lessons learned from the Hunter Warrior series of experiments suggest that  technology can only be effectively applied once assigned tasks have been mastered. In order for the Marine Corps to  enable DO capability throughout the Marine Corps, a proactive information campaign must be conducted. The thesis  seeks to develop a web based collaboration tool which will link critical DO specific and conventional skills to the  current simulations which train them. This will serve to increase all Marines' understanding of the requisite  knowledge and introduce novel training opportunities that exist as the concept of DO is concurrently developed.
