Mission. To train midshipmen through physical fitness,professional knowledge, and leadership billets. We will foster acommand climate that facilitates critical thinking and decision makingin order to forge motivated individuals ready to take on their rolesas leaders in the United States Navy and Marine Corps.2. Vision. By the end of the semester, midshipmen will have gainedconfidence in their leadership abilities and developed physically andprofessionally while contributing to a command climate that encouragesparticipation in unit events and a sense of comradery.3.Command Pillars.a. Accountability. Midshipmen are expected to takeresponsibility for all duties relevant to their billet. Failure tomeet my expectations will result in disciplinary action leading up toloss of the billet and recommendation for PRB.b. Unselfishness. Effective leaders must be willing toprioritize their subordinates over themselves. I expect allmidshipmen in leadership positions to utilize their commandresponsibly so that they are not asking their subordinates to doanything they themselves would not do. Hazing of any kind will not betolerated.2

c. Respect. In order to function at its best, the battalion’scommand climate must allow midshipmen to work together in a respectfuland tactful manner. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender,sexual orientation, or religion will not be tolerated.d. Active Participation. When the bulk of the work is handled bya few midshipmen, morale and unit efficiency suffers. I expect allmidshipmen to strive to participate in all available training, so theunit may grow stronger as a whole.4. Lines of Operation. In order to achieve the aforementionedvision, the battalion will execute the mission according to thefollowing plan.a. Freedom to Take Risks. Midshipmen in leadership positionswill be encouraged to take risks and experiment with their leadershipstyles. I encourage all my staff to think creatively and be bold withtheir decision making.b. Timeliness and Advance Planning. Assigned tasks will becompleted thoroughly and two weeks in advance of their deadline inorder to leave room for corrective action as the situation andoperating environment changes.c. Transparency of Command.
