What are the warrior case studies and where are they drawn from?
To properly instill the warrior spirit, leaders must ensure that Marines understand their responsibility as warriors. This includes the fact that each Marine is accountable for maintaining and contributing to the legacy of valor established by the sacrifices of those Marines who proceeded us. This is the purpose of the Warrior Case Studies. Through the use of individual case studies we show examples of Marines who were endowed with and displayed the warrior spirit. The Warrior Case Studies are taught to Marines at the Tan and Gray Belt level, and are part of the initial step of developing the Marine Warrior. Warrior case studies involve guided discussions based upon the citations and personal histories of Medal of Honor and Navy Cross recipients. In addition to the incredible valor and warrior spirit exemplified by all Medal of Honor and Navy Cross recipients, the particular cases discussed were chosen for their close combat experiences.
