Battalion Core Principles

"Ready for any mission, any contingency, and any sacrifice”

 

We will be technically and tactically proficient!
ØTrain as we fight
ØEvery Marine is a rifleman first
ØBlocking and tackling skills across the warfighting functions
ØSmall unit leadership and decision making
 
 
We will be physically, mentally, and morally tough!
ØCombat focused in our conditioning
Ø100% Effort
ØThinkers and doers with a bias for action
ØAlways do what’s right
ØJudged by our actions not our words
ØDiscipline and accountability is essential
 
 
We will always respect and take care of each other!
ØBefore, during, and after combat
ØAt work, in the barracks, and at home
ØWhen Marines first arrive at the unit and when they leave
 
 
We will remember who we are and where we came from!
ØBelleau Wood to Fallujah and beyond
ØRemember why we joined the Marine Corps
ØBe guardians of our customs and traditions
ØCountry, Corps, and each other
