Nation demands
A quick review of the demands that are placed on the American military clearly shows that no one service will ever be able to answer all of the country's needs. Economic pressure demands a standing force that is cost effective. For this reason, and because of many hard-won lessons in past conflicts, the nation demands more than the stove-piped military of the past. The nation requires a more agile and flexible joint force that is able to use the best parts of each service without sacrificing combat effectiveness
True north
Defined as a line from any point on the earth's surface to the North Pole. All lines of longitude are true north lines. True north is usually represented by a star
National Security Act of 1947
Despite great military success during WWII, the U.S. military, (in particular the Army, with the backing of President Truman) began political maneuvering to evolve in the face of the new Atomic Age. It became difficult to envision what future conflicts might look like and how the United States would unilaterally be in possession of the atomic bomb.
National Security Organization
During World War II (WWII), each of the services generally fought as homogeneous entities with minimal cooperation. The exception was some of the island battles in the Pacific (Okinawa is a prime example) where Marine Corps and Army troops fought in the same campaign. Personal animosities from that unhappy alliance dogged the Marine Corps into the 1950's and Korea

MAGTAF
Marine Air-Ground Task Force
Jacob Zeilin
Marine officer for 33 years, after an unsuccessful attempt at West Point (like many Marine officers of that time). He had accompanied Commodore Matthew Perry on his historic voyage to Japan in 1853. and commanded a Marine company at the Battle of Bull Run where he was wounded. His career had been solid but overall unremarkable. One deciding factor (possibly) was that he possessed the correct political connections. In 1864. that was the right mix to be made CMC.
Marine Corps Band
McCawley fired the current bandleader, and hired a former band member named John Philip Sousa. The energetic and gifted Sousa re-invigorated the band by changing the instrumentation, recruiting new musicians, and writing stirring marches, including Semper Fidelis, the only march officially assigned to a service by Congress.
1883
McCawley officially adopted the new Motto Semper Fidelis, and solidified it by updating the Marine Corps emblem so that Semper Fidelis was written on a streamer clutched in the beak of the eagle

Principles digits
Two digits are printed in large type at each end of the grid line, these same two digits appear at intervals along the grid lines on the face of the map. They are called Principal Digits. They arc of major importance to the map-reader because they are the numbers he will use most often for referencing points.
Graduated straight edge
Used to measure distance with a 1:50,000 map
Cover
When closed, this protects the face of the glass crystal. It can be used to sight on objects when folded at a 90-degree angle to the other half of the compass. Swiveled completely forward, the compass will lay flat.
Distance

Grid lines
a series of straight lines intersecting at right angles and forming a scries of squares. It furnishes the map-reader with a system of squares similar to the block system of most city streets.
Compass Accuracy
compass in good working condition is very accurate. However, a compass has to be checked periodically on a known line of direction, such as a surveyed azimuth using a declination station. Compasses with more than 3 degrees or - variation should not be used
Compass Inspections
compasses are delicate instruments and should be cared for accordingly. A detailed inspection is required when first obtaining and using a compass. One of the most important parts to check is the floating dial, which contains the magnetic needle. The user must also make sure the sighting wire is straight, the glass and crystal pans arc not broken, the numbers on the dial arc readable, and most important, that the compass dial docs not stick!
Marine Corps Forces Reserves
composed of the Reserve Component of the Marine Corps total force, has a mission to augment and reinforce the Active Component with trained units and qualified individuals in a time of war, national emergency, or contingency operations.

document approved by the Secretary of Defense for applying the Armed Forces of the United States in coordination with Department of Defense (DoD) agencies and other instruments of national power to achieve national security strategy objectives.
Direction
for military use, direction is expressed as units of angular measure from a base line. There are two systems of measurement used by the military: (1) Degrees. The most common unit of measure is degrees, with its subdivisions of minutes and seconds. There are 360 degrees on a compass. (2) Mils. Another system is mils. This system is commonly utilized in artillery and gunnery. In this system, a circle is divided into 6400 mils
BGen Zeilin helped:
foster professionalism and esprit by sending officers to Europe to observe and adopt good practices from the Royal Marines in England, and the (German and French equivalents to marines. (1) He adopted the Royal Marines' motto Per mare. Per Terrum. or By See, By Land (2) As a means to support esprit de corps, in 1875. Zeilin accommodated the desire of junior officers by forwarding their request to the Secretary of the Navy to re-adopt the Mameluke Sword over the Model 1859 cavalry sword adopted during the Civil War. Marine NCO's carry the Model 1859 sword to this day for ceremonies, the only official NCO weapon in the U.S. military.
Aviation Combat Element
