CHARACTER
Our character is defined by "...the commitment to an admirable set of
values, and the courage to manifest those values in one's life, no matter
the cost in terms of personal success or popularity." (Sorely, 1989)
VALUES AND LEADERSHIP
If a Marine is left without any guidance or supervision, then personal
values will determine what that Marine will or will not do.
Leaders must provide guidance and supervision to inspire and reinforce
organizational values to have an effect on the behavior of our Marines.
IDENTIFYING WITH PEERS VICE UNIT
When there is a breakdown in vertical cohesion within the parent
command, Marines only identify with their peers and not with their
unit. Marines in a group or section are only loyal to those Marines
within the immediate group.
IMPACT ON UNIT SUCCESS
Some Marines fail to make the connection between group objectives
and command mission. Failing to understand the impact they have on
the operation of the unit causes a disassociation from the unit and the
Marine Corps.
INSUFFICIENT CHALLENGES
Many Marines joined the Corps to be challenged to the fullest extent of
their capabilities. Disillusionment occurs if their units have low
individual expectations.
INEFFECTIVE MENTORS
When new Marines check into a unit, they are looking to others to
confirm accepted behaviors. Without a proper mentor, a Marine may
choose a negative role model simply because of a dominant
personality.
LACK OF MARINE CORPS STANDARDS
A witnessed deviation from, and a lack of adherence to, required
standards leaves a negative opinion of both the command and the
leadership. If Marines are continually exposed to such an environment,
their standards will begin to suffer as their expectations and sense of
accomplishment dwindle.
INSUFFICIENT DISCIPLINE
Discipline is degraded when commands relax standards, whether
traditional customs or published regulations. All Marines are
responsible for and capable of enforcing good discipline.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
The best and most important way to resolve conflicting values is
through leadership by example.
A Marine's sense of pride in who they are stems from a dedication to
our ________.
Organizational values
As a leader, it is your job to sustain organizational values, set the
example, and guide the way for new Marines.

________.
Foundation for teams to function more effectively

MENTAL COURAGE
Just before the Battle of Thermoplyae, a Spartan warrior named
Dienekes was told that the Persian archers could blank out the sun with
their arrows. He replied "Good, then we shall have our battle in the
shade." Spartans were mentally prepared for war from a young age.
MORAL COURAGE
In 1968, CWO Hugh Thompson was flying a support mission over My Lai
when he realized something was terribly wrong. U.S. soldiers were
slaughtering hundreds of unarmed civilians. With great moral courage
Thompson landed his helicopter between the U.S. soldiers and the
villagers and ordered his crew to train their weapons on the U.S.
troops. He rescued 16 civilians calling in additional helicopter support
to evacuate them. He would later report the incident to his chain of
command.
PHYSICAL COURAGE
In early 2004 while serving on the Iraqi border with Syria, Jason
Dunham's platoon was checking vehicles in conjunction with an attack
on their PSD element. One of the drivers became combative, and Jason
was engaged in hand-to-hand combat when the driver dropped an
armed grenade in the midst of the Marines. Jason covered the grenade
with his own helmet and used himself to shield his platoon members.
This great physical courage saved the lives of those closest to him.
TRAINING AND COURAGE
Courage is not a chance gift of nature. It is developed through hard
realistic training and unit cohesion that brings about a special bond
amongst its members.
Courage is the uncompromising code of integrity to respect human
dignity and value others.
