FIRST TO FIGHT: An Inside View of the U.S. Marine Corps. By Victor H. Krulak
I was astonished at the question General Randolph McC. made to the headquarters of Washington. “Does the U.S.A really need a Marine Corp.?” It was replied with many reasons on how the country does not need the Corps. How it could go on with no Corps. With a slight pause it ended with, the people need and desires a Marine Corp, a branch of absolute honor, courage, and commitment. The core values that each one of us live by. This book was balanced and divided by quotes that were the new topic of the section. These topics explained the great brotherhood, war fighting, innovative and improvisations that made the point that we are the greatest organization to be the first to fight. The question General Randolph was more of a statement. An eye opener to those who wondered why we have a Marine Corp. Having the moral courage with LtGen Krulak to give one a lesson to improve their professional military judgment. LtGen Krulak proved this moral courage by replying to a Naval Chief. The Naval Chief asked how fast he could have a regimental force of Marines ready for action. Lt Gen Krulak replied 48 hours. Not knowing if his promise could be done, but he knew the Marine Corp and had confidents in his words and was right. It continues to explain in many parts and in great detail the professionalism of Marines. The training methods Marines go through to attack and attack accurately attack even during the night. The ability to improvise in the worst circumstances faced just like in the war of Inchon, attacking and bombing accurately in the night. Scalded down into a provisional brigade that showed that Marines get things done with what they have, no matter what. I highly recommend this book to all Marines. This is a book were all Marines should start. It is more than a book, it his history and understanding of the world we are in now. The passing down of history and reason on why we
