The Marine Corps Gazette exists to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas that will advance knowledge, interest and esprit in the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps Gazette was the vehicle used by then Col John A. Lejeune to establish the Marine Corps Association as the professional organization for all Marines and to establish a venue to debate issues of importance to the Corps and disseminate military art and science to association members.

The first issue was published in March of 1916 and we continue to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas as envisioned by Gen Lejeune.
