Corps' Core Values
Generation after generation of American men and women
have given special meaning to the title United States Marine. These same men
and women live by a set of enduring Core Values which forms the bedrock of
their character. The Core Values give Marines strength and regulate their
behavior; they bond the Marine Corps into a total force that can meet any
challenge.
Honor
Honor guides Marines to exemplify the ultimate in ethical
and moral behavior; to never lie cheat or steal; to abide by an
uncompromising code of integrity; respect human dignity; and respect others.
The quality of maturity, dedication, trust and dependability commit Marines
to act responsibly; to be accountable for their actions; to fulfill their
obligations; and to hold others accountable for their actions.
Courage
Courage is the mental, moral and physical strength
ingrained in Marines. It carries them through the challenges of combat and
helps them overcome fear. It is the inner strength that enables a Marine to
do what is right; to adhere to a higher standard of personal conduct; and to
make tough decisions under stress and pressure.
Commitment
Commitment is the spirit of determination and dedication
found in Marines. It leads to the highest order of discipline for
individuals and units. It is the ingredient that enables 24-hour a day
dedication to Corps and country. It inspires the unrelenting determination
to achieve a standard of excellence in every endeavor.
