Overview
To be a marine, you gotta have faith. The United States Marine Corps' motto, Semper Fidelis, Latin for always faithful, reflects service members' dedication to each other, their corps, and their country. The Marine Corps has two missions: make Marines and win battles. The military branch operates artillery, aviation, expeditionary, and infantry units, has four divisions, and works out of about 20 bases around the world. It is the smallest of the military branches with just more than 178,000 active duty personnel and some 40,000 reservists. The Marine Corps traces its roots to the American Revolution and 1775 when the Continental Marines was formed.
