Marine Corps Warfighting Publication MCWP 6-10 (Formerly MCWP 6-11) Leading Marines 2 May 2016 Since our 30th Commandant, General Carl E. Mundy, first published Leading Marines in 1995, it's had a positive impact throughout our Marine Corps. It's generated spirited discussions about what it means to be a Marine, and how to lead Marines, and it is the base document for the leadership curriculum in all our resident schools. Our philosophy of leadership, as described in this publication, is in consonance with our rich and storied past. That said, it was time to update Leading Marines. As Marines, we lead by example, often instilling values using stories. During the last 13 years of continuous combat, Marines have added to our legacy, some of their stories superbly illustrating our leadership philosophy. You'll recognize many of those stories herein. We speak in this publication about those timeless attributes that form the soul of our Corps . . . those attributes that carried Marines forward through the wheat fields of Belleau Wood to the strongholds of Fallujah and Marjah. Additionally, our core values, leadership traits, and leadership principles are given added emphasis in this edition. In the end, the intent of this revision is to better describe our timeless leadership philosophy. It was in this spirit that Leading Marines was revised. Simply put, this publication describes the leadership philosophy that distinguishes the U.S. Marine Corps. This publication is not meant MCWP 6-11 Warfighting to be a "how to" guide on leadership, rather, it provides broad guidance in the form of concepts and values. Additionally, Leading Marines is not designed as a reference manual; it is meant to be read from cover to cover. Its three chapters have a natural progression. Chapter 1 describes our ethos--who we are and what we do for our Nation. Building on that understanding, Chapter 2 covers the foundations of Marine Corps leadership. Chapter 3 then addresses overcoming the challenges our leaders face. Once you read this publication, I charge you to discuss it with your peers, subordinates, and seniors. As General Mundy laid out in his foreword to the original publication in 1995, leading Marines is the most important responsibility in our Corps, and thus we must educate the heart and mind to prevail on the battlefield and in the barracks, in war and in peace.
