RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND (RTC)

The mission of Recruit Training Command is embodied in the Recruit Division Commander's Creed.

"These recruits are entrusted to my care. I will train them to the best of my ability. I will develop them into smartly disciplined, physically fit, basically trained sailors. I will instill in them, and demonstrate by my own example, the highest standard of Honor, Courage and Commitment."

Supplying the fleet with top-quality basically trained Sailors ready for follow-on training is why we are here. The leadership of Recruit Training Command cannot do this alone. It takes the dedication, hard work, and selflessness of our committed staff to pull everything together.
