Marine Corps Knowledge Practice

The core values of the Marine Corps are Honor, Courage, and Commitment. These values serve as foundational principles that guide the conduct of all Marines both in peacetime and in combat.

Honor reflects a Marine's commitment to act ethically, uphold the Marine Corps' reputation, and maintain personal integrity. It embodies the importance of accountability and respect for oneself and others.

Courage represents both physical and moral bravery. It is not only the willingness to face fear and danger but also the strength to make difficult decisions, speak out against wrongdoing, and stand firm in one’s beliefs and values.

Commitment signifies dedication to the mission, as well as loyalty to fellow Marines and the core principles of the Corps. It involves a pledge to never give up and to always strive for excellence and teamwork.

These core values are integral in shaping the identity of a Marine and are essential for fostering a strong, resilient, and effective fighting force.
