On March 24, 1995, the Commandant promulgated his formal Program to Improve Marine Corps Intelligence (here after referred to collectively as the Intel Plan). This watershed policy change marks the beginning of the modern Marine Corps Intelligence Officer. Spurred on by the post Cold War realities and, more poignantly, by the purported failure of Marine Corps Intelligence in DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM, the future of Marine Corps Intelligence was analyzed in various Marine Corps fora.
