A Marine’s every decision is informed by their commitment to the cause of securing our country’s collective future. This clear-eyed focus fuels their drive to win. Marines were made to be adaptable problem solvers in the face of constantly evolving threats. See how this winning mindset equips Marines in the fight.
In the current and future battles we train for, it is in every Marine’s mindset to defeat the challenges, obstacles, and adversaries that hinder our Nation’s progress. They are able to assess each situation quickly and make strategic decisions according to the facts at hand and conditions on the ground. They are able to think, act, and move with a sense of purpose to carry out our Nation’s purpose.
Conditions can change quickly on the modern battlefield, and Marines must adapt to meet those conditions with decisive but appropriate action. No two battles are identical, and no Marine prepares for only one type of fight. A situation can deteriorate, a crowd can grow restless, and a humanitarian operation can turn into a combat engagement—in an instant.
Marines may be called on to provide relief in a combat zone, a show of force in a disaster area, or reconnaissance during a rescue operation. Regardless of the battles, Marines have the mindset to carry out the will of our Nation and the defense of its ideals.
