To instill the qualities of good citizenship and high moral values in our young people by using the Skills, Ethos and Corps Values of the Royal Marines
Alpha Company Ethos
Ethos
There is much written about Ethos and it is often wrongly conceived.
However, far from being complex, ethos is actually straightforward, defined simply it is:
"What a group does and how it does it"
The ethos of the Royal Marines refers to their role and the way they fulfill it. They have developed a specific function as a Commando and Amphibious Force, undertaken operations in harsh environments be they mountain, jungle, cold weather or desert.
This difficult and unique task requires certain training and then maintained and developed throughout the service. Whilst it is not the role of the Royal Marines Cadets to directly emulate Commando Training, it is the adoption of their ethos and the use of the Corps values that makes the RMC a unique and special organisation in the Cadet Forces and youth training
