Command Support Program

In 1996, the Marine Corps University Foundation formally expanded funding beyond the University at Quantico and began supporting the Operating Forces and Supporting Establishment with the Command Support Program. This program is comprised of both the PME Program and the Professional Reading Program and together provides funding of $150,000 annually to over 84,000 Marines worldwide.

The PME Program provides funding for battlefield studies, staff rides, visiting scholars and other professional military events. The Professional Reading Program supports Marine Corps units with professional military education books for thier libraries.
