Why are we different?
Complementary, Not Contradictory
MarineCorps.com is designed to complement—not compete with—official Marine Corps platforms.
- USMC.mil remains the official source for policy, operations, and command communications.
- Marines.com continues to lead the recruitment and enlistment mission.
- MarineCorps.com, in turn, provides peer-driven support, community resources, and real-world assistance for all generations of Marines.
We work in harmony with the Corps’ mission to ensure Marines have access to both formal and informal support systems—strengthening the Marine community as a whole.
