However, today’s TODAY’S CRISIS new normal is a world of increasing instability, failing states, and conflict provoked by both conventional enemies and transnational threats. The Marine Corps is America’s insurance policy against an uncertain world. As our Nation’s force of first resort, the Marine Corps is uniquely suited to meet today’s and tomorrow’s security challenges. We are a highly capable, strategically mobile, ready force that responds to today’s crisis…today. We are a naval force that can influence potential crisis from the sea, as part of a highly effective Navy-Marine Corps team. Our purpose-built Marine Air Ground Task Force is optimized to provide relevant, stabilizing forward TODAY’S CRISES presence that deters conflict and, when necessary, fight and win to protect our What We Do Nation’s interests. Our expeditionary nature and legacy of enduring partnerships with allies throughout the Pacific rebalance. As responsible stewards of our nation’s resources during a time of austerity, the Marine Corps is inherently a cost-effective element of our Nation’s defense that yields significant return on investment. Ultimately, today’s Marine Corps is a necessary hedge against a world of uncertainty. We will forever remain most ready when the nation is least ready.

The emerging security threats to our Nation demand that America have a globally responsive, truly expeditionary, consistently ready maritime crisis response force…they demand America have a Marine Corps. While austerity may make us a leaner institution and a leaner force, we are committed to maintaining our readiness – the real measure of our ability to meet tomorrow’s threats. Our innovative spirit, strong leadership, and enduring stewardship of the Nation’s resources will guide our modernization, as has been our hallmark for more than two centuries. We will invest in our Marines as they are the cornerstone of our capability.

    Newman's Own® Awards Announce

    PRESS RELEASE Contact: Michelle Baldanza, Fisher House Foundation [email protected] Contact: Brandon Rook, Newman’s Own Foundation, [email protected] Contact: Christine Aquino, Military Times [email protected] Newman’s Own® Awards Announce 2020 Grant Winners *** Funds Continue to Support Military Non-Profits Offering Quality Veteran Care ROCKVILLE, Md (Nov. 11, 2020) – Fisher House Foundation, Military Times, and Newman’s Own have awarded grants to six non-profit organizations supporting military servicemembers and their families. Newman’s Own® Awards provide funding toward innovative programs created to improve the quality of life for veterans. Newman’s Own® Awards began in 1999 and have now awarded more than $2.1 million across 185 non- profit programs. The grant’s name honors the legacy of Paul Newman, founder of Newman’s Own, who sought to help make a difference in the lives of others. Paul, a Navy veteran, served in the Pacific during World War II. Later in life, he came up with his own line of salad dressings, pasta sauces, pizzas, salsas and much more and decided that all the profits from Newman’s Own products would go to charities. “Fisher House Foundation congratulates the 2020 Newman’s Own Awards grant recipients, all of which offer important programs to support our military and veteran communities,” said Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation Ken Fisher. “Thank you to our partners at Newman’s Own and Military Times, along with our distinguished judges, for their dedication to helping non-profits succeed, especially in such trying times.” “Military Times is honored to provide our platform to find and recognize organizations whose mission is to help improve the lives of veterans and their families,” said Andrew Tilghman, Military Times executive editor.

    Stockton Ranked #6 in Nation by Military Times’ ‘Best for Vets: Colleges 2016’ For Immediate Release; with logo attached Monday, November 9, 2015 Contact: Maryjane Briant News and Media Relations Director Galloway Township, NJ 08205 [email protected] (609) 652-4593 www.stockton.edu/media Galloway, NJ - Stockton University today was ranked at #6 among the best colleges and universities nationwide for veterans by the Military Times’ “Best for Vets: Colleges 2016,” the most comprehensive school-by-school assessment of veteran and military student services and rates of academic achievement. “Stockton is proud that its Veterans Affairs program, which serves over 600 veterans and active-duty service members, is recognized by Military Times as one of the Top 10 institutions in the country,” said Interim President Harvey Kesselman. “Our student veterans lead the region with veteran graduation rates at over 96 percent.” “Best for Vets: Colleges 2016” is an editorially independent news project that evaluates the many factors that help make colleges and universities a good fit for service members, military veterans and their families. More than 600 colleges took part in this year’s detailed survey. “It’s been amazing to witness how colleges all across higher education have embraced service members and their families,” said Amanda Miller, editor of Military Times’ Best for Vets rankings and special editions. “Over the past six years of our surveys, we’ve seen so many schools first begin to foster – through new policies, services and dedicated facilities – and then nurture these wonderful communities.” The Stockton veterans program began in 2008 and provides a full-time veteran counselor, a faculty resource team, and a separate orientation for veteran students, as well as a veterans’ lounge.

    Marine Corps Equipment After Iraq by Lawrence J. Korb & Max A. Bergmann, Center for American Progress and Loren B. Thompson, Lexington Institute Marine Corps Equipment After Iraq by Lawrence J. Korb & Max A. Bergmann, Center for American Progress and Loren B. Thompson, Lexington Institute August, 2006 Executive Summary The United States has understandably focused on the tremendous human costs of the war in Iraq, yet there are other costs that must be addressed as well. Earlier this year the Center for American Progress and the Lexington Institute compiled a report examining the impact of the war in Iraq on Army equipment. This report does the same for the Marine Corps, the other service that has borne the brunt of the occupation. Over the past three years the Marine Corps has maintained 40 percent of its ground equipment, 50 percent of its communications equipment, and 20 percent of its aviation assets in Iraq. This equipment is used at as much as nine times its planned rate, abused by a harsh environment, and depleted due to losses in combat. To maintain acceptable readiness levels, the Marines have been taking equipment from non-deployed units and drawing down Maritime Prepositioned stocks, including equipment stored in Europe, thus limiting their ability to respond to contingencies outside of Iraq. Resetting and recovering the force will be expensive. The cost of restoring the Marines’ ground and aviation equipment to its pre-Iraq level, as of the summer of 2006, will require $2 billion plus an additional $5 billion for each year the Marines remain in Iraq.
