The Silent Drill Platoon performs for students at Sun Valley High School in Monroe, North Carolina, during the United States Marine Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina, Sept. 4, 2018. Marine Week is a celebration of community, country and Corps, which provided the American public the experience of directly connecting with approximately 750 Marines. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command planned unique engagements during Marine Week to interact with important components of the Charlotte population, looking to share its message of opportunity with a diverse audience of people who in many cases had little previous exposure to our culture.

Jacqie McWilliams, a Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) commissioner, addresses attendees at a community leaders reception at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art during the United States Marine Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina, Sept. 4, 2018. Marine Week is a celebration of community, country and Corps, which provided the American public the experience of directly connecting with approximately 750 Marines. The CIAA is America’s oldest African-American athletic conference and a longtime targeted audience marketing partner of the Marine Corps. Diversity plays an important part in structuring the Marine Corps to better represent the different backgrounds, cultures and skills our citizens offer in service to our nation. Last year, diversity officer accessions accounted for 34.15% of officer accessions while 39.9% of enlisted accessions were diverse. Diversity accession success is a result of the hard work of our recruiting force and benefits from our robust community engagement activity, including Marine Week. Charlotte is the second-largest city in the southeast and growing. By partnering with Charlotte-based regional organizations like the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and engaging local audiences during events like those at Marine Week, the Marine Corps Recruiting Command ensures its message of aspirational service to the nation reaches all corners of the country.

CrossFit athlete Craig Kenney negotiates the obstacles on the "Battleground" during the 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, August 3, 2018. The CrossFit Games is the world’s premiere test to find the “Fittest on Earth.” The Games have been held every summer since 2007 and include a broad variety of different events that that focus on functional movements to quickly move large loads over long distances. For this year’s Games, the U.S. Marine Corps is sponsoring the “Battleground,” a high-intensity circuit course based on Marine Corps combat conditioning that included a simulated casualty carry, rope climb, distance run, and obstacle course. The Marine Corps partnered with CrossFit because its athletes share many of the same values as those exhibited by Marines, which led to the development of a national marketing relationship that allows the Marine Corps to reach a broad cross-section of high school and collegiate-aged CrossFit athletes.
