Maxwell, USMCCommander, Marine Corps Base QuanticoThe Continental Congress established the United States Marine Corps by resolution on November 10, 1775. Marine Corps composition and functions are detailed in 10 U.S.C. 5063.The Marine Corps, which is part of the Department of the Navy, is the smallest of the Nation's combat forces and is the only service specifically tasked by Congress to be able to fight in the air, on land, and at sea. Although marines fight in each of these dimensions, they are primarily a maritime force, inextricably linked with the Navy to move from the sea to fight on land.The Marine Corps conducts entry-level training for its enlisted marines at two bases, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC, and Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, CA. Officer candidates are evaluated at Officer Candidate School at Marine Corps Combat Development Command, Quantico, VA. Marines train to be first on the scene to respond to attacks on the United States or its interests, acts of political violence against Americans abroad, disaster relief, humanitarian assistance, or evacuation of Americans from foreign countries.http://www.marines.mil/Units.aspxA complete list of Marine Corps units is available online.http://www.imef.marines.mil/ContactUs.aspxGeneral InquiriesMarine Corps recruiting personnel, installation commanders, and Commanding Officers of Marine Corps Districts are available to answer general inquiries concerning the Marine Corps, its community, and public information programs.http://www.hqmc.marines.mil/cmc/Home.aspxSpeakers and FilmsFor information on speakers and films, contact the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps (PHC), Room 5E774, The Pentagon, Washington, DC 20380-1775.
