 As Marines, our mission is success and combat. The success of each Marine is a goal of every Marine leader, and my job as your commandant is to provide trained and ready Marines as teams or units where they can fight and win in any climate place. Yesterday, we received the Secretary of Defense's decision and will immediately begin full integration of our force. We are well informed by our combat experience, including the performance of all our Marines over the previous 14 years of conflict, as well as two years of studies to assist in our efforts. As we move forward, we will maintain our standards and maximize the talent and skills of all Marines, male and female, to strengthen our core and to increase our combat effectiveness. We have a decision. It's time to move out.
