Officially Licensed USMC Training And Education Command Patch — Shaping Marines from Boot Camp to War College
Every Marine who ever learned anything in a formal school owes something to TECOM — they run the entire pipeline.
Training and Education Command (TECOM) oversees the entire spectrum of formal Marine Corps training and education, from recruit training at Parris Island and San Diego through The Basic School, military occupational specialty schools, and senior professional military education programs. TECOM establishes training standards, develops curricula, and ensures that every training institution in the Marine Corps produces Marines who are prepared for the demands of modern warfare. The command's scope is enormous — touching every single Marine's career from the day they step on the yellow footprints to the day they attend the highest levels of professional military education.
Perfect For: TECOM staff and instructors, Marine Corps schoolhouse personnel, training and education professionals, PME advocates, and Marine institutional patch collectors.
TECOM — every Marine's training starts and evolves here.
