MISSION
On order, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines locates, closes with, and destroys the enemy by fire and maneuver or repels the enemy's assault by fire and close combat. The Battalion conducts combat readiness focused training and education across all warfighting functions in preparation for employment as a ground combat element in support of operational requirements.
2d Battalion, 1st Marines will fight the way we train. We are therefore committed to efficient, effective, and safe, but realistic training that cultivates a culture of comradery and lethality within our unit. We constantly assess our performance by asking questions of ourselves and our units: “Have I gotten stronger? Have I learned anything? Are my Marines ready?”
The Professionals will be ready.
