MCICOM Campaign of Learning 
Supported by MCICOM, the G7 I-neXt branch drives performance and innovation under the Command & Staff Support portfolio and is responsible for accelerating and integrating new and emerging technologies, processes, and organizational adaptations – across the Command – as they relate to design, construction, and management of our installations.

I-neXt Values 
As stated by our 38th Commandant, “the Marine Corps needs disruptive thinkers who are willing to challenge the status quo.” Built on two of the Marine Corps values: of courage and commitment, I-neXt approaches its work leveraging collaboration, adaptation, and transformation.
