Guide to the Marine Corps

The Marine Corps has two missions; to make Marines and win battles. Comprised of smart, adaptable men and women, the Corps serves as the aggressive tip of the American military spear. Often thought of as "First to Fight", ours is a smaller, more dynamic force than any other in the American arsenal. The Corps is also the only U.S. force designed to be expeditionary in nature and able to operate in a state of "forward deployment". This means we keep Marines stationed around the world, ready to act whenever the need arises. In the Marine Corps, we accomplish great things for our nation and its people, and we do so together.
