Recruiting is the lifeblood of the Corps. The legacy of the Marine Corps is to “Make Marines, Win Battles, and Return Quality Citizens.” Citizens, once transformed, will be Marines for life. As such, we are dedicated to recruiting high quality men and women of character to meet the needs of our Corps and the nation and who are representative of the people we serve.

Our enlisted Marines deserve the finest leadership we can provide. Officer recruiting provides the Marine Corps with commissioned officers of the highest leadership potential. The needs of the Marine Corps establish the demand for new officers. Talented young men and women are accessed in the precise numbers needed to support our requirements. This is done in a manner that reflects both the quality and rich diversity of America’s young people, as we understand the diversity of our officer corps is one of our greatest strengths. Description
