This is the quality of faithfulness to country, Corps, and unit. The motto of our Corps is
Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful. Marines demonstrate this loyalty up and down the
chain of command to seniors, subordinates, and peers. Loyalty to seniors as an
example to subordinates (and peers) is an expected standard, whether you are in
agreement with a decision or not. When loyalty permeates a unit to the degree that
Marines will not tolerate a peer "screwing up" because it makes him and the unit look
bad, many problems will vanish and the unit will be truly cohesive.

LEADERSHIP THEORY
Leaders must have good character as defined by our core values and leadership
traits. Good leaders develop and sustain these traits in themselves and their Marines.
, These traits bear directly on the quality of our leadership. Each trait is important, and a
lack of development in one or more of the traits makes for unbalanced and ineffective
leaders.
The development of our own character requires constant vigil and self assessment. It
is a life-long journey that involves being honorable, courageous, and committed to
something bigger than ourselves.
