The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program

Focusing on personal development within a team framework, the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) integrates weapon-based techniques with modern battlefield tactics. It aims to enhance individual and unit warfighting capabilities, boost self-confidence, and foster a warrior ethos among Marines. The program emphasizes that every Marine is a rifleman, prepared for combat at any distance, and promotes a combat mindset. Rooted in a rich martial culture, MCMAP has evolved through history, reflecting the character and values that define the Marine Corps.
