Mission
The Marine Corps is firmly committed to fostering a culture grounded in dignity, respect, and trust. Every Marine deserves equal opportunity to realize their full potential judged solely on merit, fitness, intellect, and ability. All Marines share the responsibility of upholding an environment free from prohibited activities and conduct. This commitment is essential to mission success, unit cohesion, and operational readiness. Such behaviors regardless of time or place have no place in our ranks. Prohibited conduct erodes morale, weakens combat effectiveness, and hinders the development of the Marine Corps’ greatest asset: its people. Moreover, it jeopardizes the trust and confidence our Nation places in us as its elite fighting force.
