Warfighting philosophy

✓ -:- Commitment is the spirit of determination found in every Marine. It is what
compels Marines to serve our nation and the Corps and to continue on when others
quit. Commitment does not take breaks, and it cannot be faked. It measures and
proves one's desire, dedication, and faithfulness. Becoming a United States Marine
represents the highest level of commitment.
WAR DEFINED
✓ -:- War is defined as a violent clash of interests between or among organized
groups characterized by the use of military force.
•These groups have traditionally been established nation-states, but they also include any
non- state group—such as an international coalition or a faction within or outside of an
existing state—with its own political interests and the ability to generate organized
violence on a scale sufficient to have significant political consequences.
•The essence of war is a violent struggle between two hostile, independent, and
irreconcilable wills, each trying to impose itself on the other. It is critical to keep in mind
that the enemy is not an inanimate object to be acted upon but an independent and
animate force with its own objectives and plans.
•Appreciating this dynamic interplay between opposing human wills is essential to
understanding the fundamental nature of war.
