The U.S. Marine Corps. Socialize their recruits through boot camp. In boot camp Marine’s are taught to command others with higher rank and proper authority. Physical training, weapon training, and drills are the main elements of training. During boot camp the marine is taught the main purpose is to

I believe that the mission of the author, Victor H. Krulak, Lieutenant General, USMC (Ret.), in writing this book was to describe how vital the United States Marine Corps is to our nation and that through the extensive preparation and training we receive, we have become the leading fighting force on and off the battle field. The purpose of this book was to inspire readers about the Marine Corps and to explain stories about how different equipment came into the Corps and how we perfected them. The author’s goal was the educate readers based on his personal experiences

Men have gone to war in ships and boats or battle canoes since history began. They been able to do everything, but when coming to a shore where the enemy blocks every way to get in and organized with a mutual supporting arms, the Marines are the ones to come in. In 1896 proposed that the corps be organized in 6 battalions The Marines would say back in the day “if only I could see in the dark and the enemy could not everything would be different”, we have breached the cloak of night we can drop a bomb from an aircraft high in altitude and get very close to the target, it has killed many enemys and less risks for our Marine pilots. Also the Marine Corps are known to do the job cheaper, also known to do more work but less pay. The Marines always try to find ways to save money.

On November 10th, 1775 the Marine Corps was established in Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War. Since that time, the Marines have played an important role in securing America’s freedom through countless battles. The Marines have distinguished themselves as an elite force specializing in military tactics which assist in defeating the enemy under any circumstance. The Marine Corps is a small branch with limited personnel which allows them the

Were they made up by a brave leader who was identified by his act of valor-- or was it because of ancient battles with the Greeks? This book breaks down the warrior ethos and compares it to history, to were a connection is formed to the reader. As a Marine is is so questioned why Marines are highly looked up to... but it is not by the name they have, but what is has taken to get to were we are. To be known as the elite fighting force, by warriors who paved the way and in situations or danger and despair rose courage and acts of valor. It is understood why it is so proud for me to have earned my title as a United States Marine, because of its rich history of bravery and heroism.

The Marines are a highly mobile amphibious attack force. Marines are trained to attack from the water and establish a beach head, an area of control on foreign soil. After the Marines take territory, other armed forces such as the US Army move in to maintain control, while the Marines move on. Marines are mobile, lightweight, and very rapid. I would compare the Marines to the head of the spear, wedging in to get a foothold and racing ahead once the land has been secured. In addition to acting as a lightweight attack force from the ocean, Marines are also perfectly capable of taking territory on land. Marines are trained for rapid deployment, and are often the first US military personnel on site. Marines also guard American embassies overseas, providing embassy security and safety. In volatile areas, being a Marine embassy guard is a very risky job.

Every Marine knows that we fight for each other and nothing will ever come between the brotherhood of Marines. The book Leading Marines talks about three major keys Ethos, Foundation, and Challenges of the United States Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps’ was created to protect the U.S. Navy’s cargo ships from the pirates who wished to overtake the ships. The United

I'm still alive, but barely breathing. Lying with my stomach on the ground, cover with plants ready to shoot in this suicide mission. All by myself praying to God, even though I know I'm not going to be able to come back alive. But what I'm supposed to do when the best part of me was always you? I have nothing left. I just wish it wasn't over, but wishing is not enough.

There are many different cultures or social groups that have a language barrier whether that is because of religion, race, or social differences. These language barriers eventually will have to be overcome so that we can all communicate with each other. Out of these social groups, comes the greatest fighting force in the World, The Marine Corps. Marines have a very unique language dialog that has been preserved for hundreds of years Unfortunately, there comes a point in time when a Marine must transition out of the Marine Corps into the “Civilian World” (as we call it). Transitioning is a very exciting time for Marines but it also is very difficult time due to the strong language community that we belong to.

The Marine Corps does two things: make marines and win our nation’s battles. Winning battles depend on how well we make marines. Those who have earned the title have been polished and honed by attentive mentoring. We have to remember that to sustain the transformation

NonCommissioned Officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps.   Each leader is very different from the other.   Some Marines enjoy being a corporal only because of the increase in rank and pay.   A few become the tactless leaders junior Marines try to avoid.   Fortunately, many others strive to become the leader that other Marines wish to emulate.   They know what it means to be a good leader.   Those Marines have the traits of a leader and they get to know their Marines

The Marine Corps is not just an organization but instead it is a mindset, a spirit if you will,

Wars have many battles. However, battles do not always lead to war. Marines courageously serve in our nations wars. Their ability to win battles allows our nations to deal with threats quickly without making the situation more dangerous than it already is. Since the year of 1775 the Marines have been the number one branch of the military called upon first. Their ability to execute the most rapid, effective, and efficient military response to disputes anywhere in the world, makes them one of the most respected branches of the military. The Marines Corps are deployed to respond swiftly and aggressively to threats around the world. What distinguishes the Marines Corps from any other branch is the bond formed by their motto “Semper Fidelis.”

Set the example. Know your Marines and look out for their welfare. Keep your Marines informed. These are a few leadership principles we must follow as Marines. My units fault in sustaining the transformation, and my strive to maintain it will consist of trying to fix these aspects that we have ventured from, a negative environment, overworked, and prolonged unnecessary field ops are some of the key factors I will address.
