Command Philosophy
We set the standard; We build the ethos,
We create the climate; We become the culture;
We OWN the results.
Our collective actions breathe life into this organization,
We Are 1st LAAD Battalion
• The Team Matters Most. Our families, Marines, and Sailors form a championship team capable of accomplishing anything. Teams must:
Build on the Foundation of “We”
We are in this together
We succeed and fail together
We overcome together
Have Trust and Faith in One Another: Operate at the speed of trust.
Be Excellent to Each Other. Be kind—seek to build others up
Take Leave…recharge, build a stronger self, build stronger families
• Be Happy. “Whoever is happy will make others happy too.” –Anne Frank
• Failure Is Not Final. It happens, be resilient and embrace the struggle. Learn from failure and move on. We have a job to do and a mission to accomplish.

How to Report a PAC Complaint
Chain of Command. The Chain of Command or Command designated personnel (EOC) is the primary and preferred channel to prevent and respond to complaints of PAC. Use of the chain of command to address PAC exemplifies trust in leadership to quickly and effectively address violations of our standards.
Equal Opportunity Coordinator (EOC). The EOC is an authorized source within the command to receive complaints on behalf of the commander. EOCs are appointed by their commander and are there if the immediate supervisor is not able to be used.

Commanding Officer’s Policy Statement on Safety
1 October 2022
Safety is a Team Effort and Rank Independent
We must care enough about our teammates and families to prioritize safety in all we do— on and off duty. Private to Sergeant Major, Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel, we all bear the responsibility to address and correct unsafe actions or conditions immediately.
Bias for Action Does Not Equal Rushing to Recklessness
Marines and Sailors are built for action—we run to the sound of chaos, we are the few, we are the proud, and often, we rush ourselves into reckless action…take a tactical pause and think about what we are doing. Safety requires thinking…
We all chose an inherently dangerous job—increasing that danger by cutting corners, failing to analyze and mitigate risk, or simple laziness is unacceptable and counter to what 1st LAAD Battalion stands for. Complacency Kills.
Chase Perfection in Our Practice
Championship teams realize that perfect practice makes perfect. We do this by,
• Maintaining the standards
• Following established policies and procedures written in blood
• Care enough to take our safety seriously and prioritize it
“We will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly…” -Vince Lombardi

1st LAAD SAPR Policy Statement
Sexual Assault is criminal and at odds with the basic respect for human dignity: and beyond that, sexual assault is counter to the values and ethos of what it means to be a Marine or Sailor.
MCO 1752.5C, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, is clear in defining sexual assault as a “criminal act that erodes unit cohesion and contradicts Marine Corps values”. Worse still, sexual assault has devastating effects that last a lifetime for the victim, their families, and loved ones.
I cannot fathom that Marines or Sailors, who have answered the highest calling to service and have joined the greatest and mightiest team, would engage in behavior that so dreadfully affects another Marine or individual. I will not tolerate it, and we will be proactive in rooting out attitudes that lead to it.
Be excellent to each other. Treat others with dignity and respect. It is just that simple.
Caring about one another means taking an active role in preventing sexual assault. It means taking a stand for the values we espouse and giving them true meaning in our day-to-day-conduct.
If you are the victim of sexual assault and wish to make a restricted or unrestricted report, you should immediately contact the appropriate confidential or non-confidential resource (SAPR VA, medical, chaplain, chain of command and/or law enforcement).

When talking to someone:
- Talk openly and matter-of-factly about suicide.
- Be willing to listen and allow expressions of feelings. Accept the feelings.
- Be non-judgmental. Don’t debate whether suicide is right or wrong, or whether feelings are good or bad, and don’t lecture on the value of life.
- Don’t act shocked. This will put distance between you.
- Don’t be sworn to secrecy but seek support.
- Offer hope that alternatives are available but do not offer superficial reassurance.
- Never dare them to do it!
- Most importantly, be prepared to act. Remove any lethal means, like weapons, drugs, or medications, and do not leave them alone.
