Which set are the Marine Corps core values?

• A. Honor, Courage & Commitment
• B. Integrity, Respect, Loyalty
• C. Duty, Honor, Country
• D. Excellence, Discipline, Teamwork

Answer: (A)

The Marine Corps defines three core values that guide every action: Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Honor means upholding ethical standards and doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. Courage covers both physical bravery and the moral strength to stand up for what must be done, especially in tough or dangerous situations. Commitment is the steadfast dedication to the mission, to accomplishing the task at hand, and to your fellow Marines, no matter the challenge. Together, these values shape decisions, leadership, and how Marines conduct themselves on and off the battlefield. Among the sets listed, Honor, Courage, and Commitment is the one that matches the official Marine Corps values; the others include admirable traits but do not represent the Marines’ formal trio.
