Marines Social Media Handbook Throughout the Marine Corps' history, people have discussed, debated and embraced the United
States Marine Corps and our Marines. These discussions continue today through online conversations
and social networks. The Corps recognizes the importance of participating in these conversations and
has a basic set of social media principles to help empower Marines and our community to participate in
the discussions as better communicators and improved representatives of our Corps. Click here to view the PDF file from the USMC. Click here
