The three most important things the Marine Corps does for the Nation are make Marines, win battles, and return quality citizens. Public affairs (PA) is an integral part of warfighting and solidifies the existing, indispensable bond between the Marine Corps and the American public. Professional, sophisticated PA is just as important as tactics and weapons training. As a powerful, nonlethal capability with application across the range of military operations, PA builds understanding, credibility, trust, and relationships with domestic and foreign publics—publics that are critical to the Marine Corps' mission success and the Nation's larger strategic objectives. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-33.3, Marine Corps Public Affairs, describes Marine Corps doctrine on PA. It provides the requisite information needed by commanders and their staffs to understand PA.
