A group of men in suits and Marine Corps uniforms talking at a conference table. - U.S. Navy and Marine Corps leaders meet with Public Private Venture (PPV) partners for an annual meeting as part of the Installation Innovation Forum sponsored by the Association of Defense Communities on November 8, 2023. The meeting provides an opportunity for improved transparency, collaboration, and problem-solving between the services and their PPV partners. As the single authority for all Marine Corps installations matters, MCICOM exercises command and control of regional installations commands, establishes policy, exercises oversight, and prioritizes resources in order to optimize support to the operating forces and tenant commands.
