action may be, and deciding how to defeat it. Thinking through
these elements helps the leader develop increased situational
awareness. Based on this understanding of the situation, the
leader can begin to form a mental image of how the battle might
be fought. Central to the leader’s thinking must be the
question, “In this situation, what efforts will be decisive?”
The leader asks this question not just once, but repeatedly as
the battle progresses. The leader must also address possible
outcomes and the new situations that will result from those
possibilities. As the situation changes, so will the solution
and the actions that derive from it. For every situation, the
leader must decide which of the countless and often confusing
pieces of information are important and reliable. The leader
must determine what the enemy is trying to do and how to counter
his efforts. Tactics requires leaders to make decisions. A
leader must make decisions in a constantly changing environment
of friction, uncertainty, and danger. Making effective decisions
and acting on those decisions faster than the enemy is a crucial
element of Marine Corps tactics.

b. The Chief of the Zulus had a son who was named Shaka.
Shaka was born in 1787, led the Zulus beginning in 1816, and
died in 1828 due to being stabbed to death by his half-brothers.
The basis of Shaka’s power was the ‘amabutho’ system, a means of
social control by integrating all Zulus into a growing Zulu
kingdom. This was Shaka’s idea of his Zulus no longer serving
their lesser chiefs, but the Zulu king himself. The basic
functions of the male regiments included policing Shaka’s Zulus
and battling external enemies.
2. TRAINING METHODS
(1) Shaka was dynamic and ruthless. His army was highly
centralized both in execution and command. He maintained an
iron grip on his empire. An example is how he expected his
troops to cover up to fifty miles per day when most had no
sandals. His Zulus had to forage for their own food and water.
Shaka rationalized this as another incentive for his regiments
to be successful in their raiding parties and in battle.
was poor, percussion caps were in short supply, and pebbles were
sometimes used in place of bullets. As well, people were not
willing to train the Zulus in the use of the guns. From most
accounts of battle, people recall the volume of fire from the
Zulus, but not the accuracy of fire.

Becoming is a dynamic state, which allows for
limitless growth. When we exist in this
state we do not limit ourselves, or become so
defined by our past accomplishments. Marines
that are always becoming are not threatened
by new ways to accomplish the mission,
because they are open to the ideas that they
have not come across yet. They are not
easily defeated, as they are able to take in
new information, adapt to a changing
environment, and overcome the challenges of
their enemies.

Courage
o The heart of our core values, courage is
the mental, moral, and physical strength
ingrained in Marines to carry them through
the challenges of combat and the mastery
of fear; to do what is right; to adhere to
a higher standard of personal conduct; to
lead by example, and to make tough
decisions under stress and pressure. It is
the inner strength that enables a Marine
to take that extra step.
Commitment
o The spirit of determination and dedication
within members of a force of arms that
leads to professionalism and mastery of
the art of war. It leads to the highest
order of discipline for unit and self; it
is the ingredient that enables 24-hour-a-
day dedication to Corps and Country;
pride; concern for others; and an
unrelenting determination to achieve a
standard of excellence in every endeavor.
Commitment is the value that establishes
the Marine as the warrior and citizen
others strive to emulate.
