We expect and demand extraordinary loyalty from our Marines — a loyalty to Country, family, and Corps. Our Nation has been at war for a decade, placing unprecedented burdens on Marines, Sailors, families, Wounded Warriors, and the families of the fallen. They have all made tremendous sacrifices in the face of danger. We owe them all a reciprocal level of loyalty. Our approach to caring for their needs is based on the same unwavering faithfulness they have demonstrated to the Marine Corps.
General James F. Amos
MISSION STATEMENT
Well-trained and certified Marine Corps Judge Advocates in cooperation with Navy Judge Advocates and Department of the Navy civilian attorneys will assist Wounded, Ill and Injured (WII) Marines and Sailors throughout the Disability Evaluation System (DES) process. Assisting them early in the process will ensure that their rights are protected and that each receives a fair assessment of his or her medical condition and that the condition is accurately documented during the Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) process.
