MCAF MCCDC Dinner

Marine Corps Association Foundation Combat Development Dinner
16 September 2009

Hosted by the Marine Corps Association Foundation in conjunction with the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, the Combat Development Dinners are conducted on a semi annual basis. The Dinners feature a prominent leader from top level Marine Corps, Department of the Navy, or Department of Defense leadership as the guest speaker who addresses current combat development issues.

On 16 September 2009, MCAF was fortunate to present the Honorable Robert O. Work, Under Secretary of the Navy as the guest speaker at MCAF's second annual Combat Development Dinner conducted at The Clubs at Quantico.

MCAF should have a video of Under Secretary's presentation posted by the end of September so please come back then to check it out. Provided below are some pictures of the event.
