    The Marine Corps 250th Birthday    

    On November 10, 2025, U.S. Marines around the globe will celebrate 250 years of success on the battlefield and a legacy defined by honor, courage and commitment. This year, the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Eric M. Smith and the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Carlos A. Ruiz reiterate to the force that Marines are warfighters first and foremost, in any clime and place. Drawing on the strength and service of those who wore the Eagle, Globe and Anchor in years past, Marines today are standing ready to fight and win.
