Welcome Aboard! A Handbook for Members of the Department of Georgia Marine Corps League Revision Date: 17 May 2012 1 of 44 WHAT IS THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE? The League is the only Federally Chartered, Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. The League was organized by then-Commandant John A. LeJeune in 1923. In 1937, Congress nationally chartered the League. It is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. The League is presided over by an elected Commandant and officers, with a full- time Executive Director and staff located in Virginia. The League's Objectives: Among the purposes for which the Marine Corps League was founded are: To preserve the traditions and to promote the interests of the United States Marine Corps; To band those who are now serving in the Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service together in fellowship that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy; To fit its members for duties of citizenship and to encourage them to serve as ably as citizens as they have served the Nation under arms; To hold sacred the history and memory of the Page 2 of 44 veterans who have given their lives to the Nation; To foster love for the principles which they have supported by blood and valor since the founding of the Republic; To maintain true allegiance to American institutions; To create a bond of comradeship between those in the service and those who have returned to civilian life; To aid voluntarily and to render assistance to all Marines and FMF Corpsmen and former Marines and FMF Corpsmen as well as to their spouses, orphans, and parents; To perpetuate the history of the U.S.

Leadership Defined Leadership is the ability to influence, lead, or guide others so as to accomplish a mission in the manner desired by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Purpose gives others a reason for why they should do something. Direction gives others the “knowledge” to complete the task. Motivation gives others the will to do what they are capable of doing. Leadership Primary and Secondary Objectives Primary- Accomplish the mission Secondary- Troop welfare Core Values – Honor, Courage, and Commitment Honor is the quality that guides Marines to exemplify ethical and moral behavior. Courage is a mental quality that recognizes fear of danger or criticism, but enables a leader to proceed in the face of it with calmness and firmness. Commitment means the dedication to carry out all unit tasks and to serve the values of the country, the MCJROTC, and the unit. Leadership Traits – (JJ DID TIE BUCKLE) Judgment is the ability to consider all of the factors of a problem or situation. It is then up to the leader to make a correct decision.

Initiative is the ability, or presence of mind, to take action in the absence of any clearly defined orders. Decisiveness is that quality that allows an individual to take swift and firm action.
