Fleet Marine Force insignia

Additionally a second section of the course is detailed toward the element of the United States Marine Corps with which the candidate is assigned.

The eagle, globe, and anchor (EGA) makes a clear statement that the wearer is a member of the Navy/Marine Corps team.

The scroll at the bottom stating "Fleet Marine Force" shows the exclusive community they belong to.

[citation needed] The FMFWO insignia is a gold, highly polished, metal device depicting the eagle, globe and anchor (EGA) atop two crossed rifles on a background of ocean swells breaking on a sandy beach atop a scroll with the words "Fleet Marine Force."

Chaplains do not bear arms; therefore, they are designated as Fleet Marine Force Qualified Officers vice Fleet Marine Force Warfare Officers, and are waived from completing certain [weapons related] portions of the Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS).

The Chaplain version of this badge does not include the crossed rifles and has a gold anodized finish.
