3rd Battalion - 9th Marines

Mission Statement

Initially, we will focus predominantly on our near term scheduled deployment and its unique COIN nature. We will strive to reach our peak war fighting effectiveness at Enhanced Mojave Viper, and then sustain our proficiency as a learning adaptive organization that stays ahead of our enemies all the way until our redeployment home. While deployed, we will partner from the top to the bottom with our coalition counterparts so that ours is a collective fight with an indigenous face. During the midst of our deployment preparations, we will become capable of deploying with little to no advance notice in support of emerging contingencies by refining our TPFDD and keeping our personnel, training, and equipment readiness high.
