This includes ourselves, the enemy, the environment, and anticipating the enemy's next move. -Orient to the situation. We use our situational awareness as the foundation of a plan. The better our appreciation of the situation, the better the plan. -Decide upon a course of action. The decision becomes our plan and is communicated through orders. -Act. The plan is executed. Since this action has changed the situation, the cycle begins anew. *What are Reality-Based Unit Obstacles - -Result of internal friction encountered by and attributed to individual units. These obstacles are unit-imposed and can be overcome through good leadership (Ex. *Insufficient Leadership Training, Identification with Peers vice Unit, Leadership Turnover, Operational Tempo, Insufficient discipline). MCRP 6-11D, pg 54- *What are Perception-Based Unit Obstacles - -Result of unit-held perceptions (Ex. Labeling, "Broken" Marines, Cohesion Team Perceptions, Counseling) MCRP 6-11, pg 56
Analytical v. intuitive Decision-Making - -Intuitive—based on experience and situational awareness with little time to do it. -Analytical—based on comparing several options and having the time to do it. We obtain our values through the influence of our ________, ________, and ________ with earlier experiences having more of an effect than later experiences. - Parents, teachers, and peers Attitudes are not as deeply held as values. - True CATEGORIES - Values are organized into the following five categories: •Political values •Social values •Personal values •Economic values •Religious values CHARACTER - Our character is defined by "...the commitment to an admirable set of values, and the courage to manifest those values in one's life, no matter the cost in terms of personal success or popularity." (Sorely, 1989) VALUES AND LEADERSHIP - If a Marine is left without any guidance or supervision, then personal values will determine what that Marine will or will not do. Leaders must provide guidance and supervision to inspire and reinforce organizational values to have an effect on the behavior of our Marines. IDENTIFYING WITH PEERS VICE UNIT - When there is a breakdown in vertical cohesion within the parent command, Marines only identify with their peers and not with their unit. Marines in a group or section are only loyal to those Marines within the immediate group. IMPACT ON UNIT SUCCESS - Some Marines fail to make the connection between group objectives and command mission. Failing to understand the impact they have on the operation of the unit causes a disassociation from the unit and the Marine Corps. INSUFFICIENT CHALLENGES - Many Marines joined the Corps to be challenged to the fullest extent of their capabilities. Disillusionment occurs if their units have low individual expectations. INEFFECTIVE MENTORS - When new Marines check into a unit, they are looking to others to confirm accepted behaviors. Without a proper mentor, a Marine may choose a negative role model simply because of a dominant personality. LACK OF MARINE CORPS STANDARDS - A witnessed deviation from, and a lack of adherence to, required standards leaves a negative opinion of both the command
and the leadership. If Marines are continually exposed to such an environment, their standards will begin to suffer as their expectations and sense of accomplishment dwindle. INSUFFICIENT DISCIPLINE - Discipline is degraded when commands relax standards, whether traditional customs or published regulations. All Marines are responsible for and capable of enforcing good discipline. CONFLICT RESOLUTION - The best and most important way to resolve conflicting values is through leadership by example. A Marine's sense of pride in who they are stems from a dedication to our ________. - Organizational values As a leader, it is your job to sustain organizational values, set the example, and guide the way for new Marines. - true As much as anything, our ________ set us apart. - Core values Marine Corps core values increase our readiness by providing a ________. - Foundation for teams to function more effectively Honor includes personal qualities of ________. - Dedication, trust, and dependability MENTAL COURAGE - Just before the Battle of Thermoplyae, a Spartan warrior named Dienekes was told that the Persian archers could blank out the sun with their arrows. He replied "Good, then we shall have our battle in the shade." Spartans were mentally prepared for war from a young age. MORAL COURAGE - In 1968, CWO Hugh Thompson was flying a support mission over My Lai when he realized something was terribly wrong. U.S. soldiers were slaughtering hundreds of unarmed civilians. With great moral courage Thompson landed his helicopter between the U.S. soldiers and the villagers and ordered his crew to train their weapons on the U.S. troops. He rescued 16 civilians calling in additional helicopter support to evacuate them. He would later report the incident to his chain of command. PHYSICAL COURAGE - In early 2004 while serving on the Iraqi border with Syria, Jason Dunham's platoon was checking vehicles in conjunction with an attack on their PSD element. One of the drivers became combative, and Jason was engaged in hand- to-hand combat when the driver dropped an armed grenade in the midst of the Marines. Jason covered the grenade with his own helmet and used himself to shield his platoon members. This great physical courage saved the lives of those closest to him.

Then simply utilize your strengths and improve your weaknesses.
BE TECHNICALLY AND TACTICALLY PROFICIENT - As a Marine, you must demonstrate your ability to accomplish the mission, and to do this you must be capable of answering questions and demonstrating competence in your MOS as well as in the profession of arms. DEVELOP A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AMONG SUBORDINATES - Assigning tasks and delegating the authority to accomplish tasks promotes mutual confidence and respect between the leader and subordinates. It also encourages initiative and cooperation in the accomplishment of unit tasks. MAKE SOUND AND TIMELY DECISIONS - Hesitation or a reluctance to make a decision leads subordinates to lose confidence in your abilities as a leader. SET THE EXAMPLE - As a leader of Marines, your duty is to set the standard by personal example.
