- Abstract
This article discusses the life and contributions of Earl "Pete" Hancock Ellis, a Marine Corps officer who played a significant role in shaping the Marine Corps' mission and doctrine in the early 20th century. Ellis advocated for advanced base operations and amphibious assault missions, which were eventually embraced by the Navy and Marine Corps. His ideas were outlined in a document called "Advanced Base Operations in Micronesia," and he emphasized the need for specialized training in water and jungle warfare. While Ellis's contributions are acknowledged, the article emphasizes the collective effort and the role of other influential figures in shaping the Marine Corps' mission.
