Military history has established that musical units are an integral part of the Marine Corps (Appendix A). Marine Corps Bands are an important stimulus to morale and esprit de corps and provide the Commanding General, and the unit, a vital link to ceremonial traditions. In combat, musical units continue musical functions and augment security on a temporary basis during periods of heightened combat intensity when use of the band in its primary role is impractical.
