Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger acknowledged that the Corps has had issues identifying toxic leaders, which could be a major problem for his plan to retain more Marines.
On Wednesday Berger released a 20-page document outlining how the Corps will better oust toxic leaders and change its culture to generally start treating Marines better.
“We have to treat people like human beings instead of inventory,” Berger told reporters on Tuesday.
The changes come as the Marine Corps looks to get older and more experienced as it prepares for a potential war with China. The increased complexity from the battlefield will see the Corps move away from a policy that intentionally pushed out 75 percent of first-term enlistees in favor of a younger, less experienced Corps.
