Summary Examples of great leadership in the Marine Corps are discussed from Chesty Puller, throughout history, including up to the current Commandant of today's Corps. Marine's explain, in their own words, why leadership is so important on the battlefield. Different personalities among some of our key Marines are established as they explain the beloved, and feared, terms of "Mom and Dad". Members of Alpha 1/24 tell about how they looked up to, or sometimes even confronted, their own superiors. The need for a hierarchy, decision making under fire, stepping-up during combat, and competition even amongst brothers, establishes a time-tested mentality of those who have sworn their lives and allegiance to the Corps. Then Major, now retired Colonel, Dan Whisnant, discusses forging relationships with influential Iraqis, as those under his command claim he never truly received the credit due to him for his pivotal accomplishments toward counter-insurgency. Actual marines, including Kopera, Gillitzer and Greco, among others, give firsthand accounts of the difficulties and rewards of leading during actual combat. As the Marines convey their vast knowledge and personal experience on the field, dealing with the commanding of multiple personalities, troop morale, leading by example, and hardships in the midst of combat, viewers begin to get a sense of what it must have been like to be amongst them in the organized chaos of battle.
