MARINE CORPS STANDARDS
OUR MARINE CORPS STANDARDS ARE NOT MERELY GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW, BUT A CODE THAT EACH AND EVERY MARINE LIVES.
They are found in the way Marines fight on battlefields and the way we conduct ourselves in peacetime. They guide us to look out for those on our left and right, while in combat or while serving in our communities. They reinforce our resolve and shape our mindset—and they are an asset our entire Nation can count on. It is these unwavering standards that mark all that we stand for, and all that we stand against.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
As United States Marines, we thrive on physical challenges. With determination and confidence, we welcome the unexpected as an opportunity to test ourselves, continually improve and remain certain that whatever difficulties are in front of us, we have the physical toughness to overcome them together. Marines face these challenges willingly because when you train for everything, you are prepared for anything.
BATTLE READY
Defending our Nation requires the determination and strategic mindset to outmaneuver every adversary. Modern warfare is won by our Nation’s agile warriors who can lead, react, and think tactically. From cyber security and electronic warfare to remote drone operations and high-speed data communications, Marines employ cutting-edge technology to outsmart and defeat any adversary in any domain. Many digital competitors already possess transferrable skills that allow a smooth transition to winning the most significant battles— in defense of America’s ideals. Harness your strengths and develop new ones to earn your place among the most effective and lethal fighting force in the world.
