Since then, this has become the narrative that defines the culture and identity of the Marine Corps. The topic of "every Marine is a rifleman" is aligned to the Commandant’s Planning Guidance and supported by the Commandant of the Marine Corps as an area where he desires the senior enlisted leaders (SEL) of the Corps to provide guidance and recommendations. 4. Purpose. The purpose of the Every Marine a Rifleman Summit is to review and understand this principal and how current Marine Corps training and education programs contribute to and reinforce this culture. 5. End State. To provide a comprehensive assessment of the current state of existing programs, and examine how this Marine Corps culture contributes to the lethality and our Warrior Ethos. 6. In the event the summit is cancelled or postponed to a later date, guidance will be provided through separate correspondence. A detailed program that includes a virtual option and COVID mitigation procedures is being developed and will be promulgated separately, if that becomes necessary. 7. Tasks.
