AIMED (Attract, Identify, Mentor, Educate, & Develop)

MISSION

To attract, identify, mentor, educate and develop high-performing Marines from historically underrepresented populations in order to provide them an opportunity to visualize and pursue an officer career path, infusing the officer corps with different life perspectives and enhancing the Marine Corps' warfighting advantage.

 

ABOUT
