Explore the Proud History and Traditions That Define the USMC
The USMC height and weight standards are among the strictest in the U.S. military, reflecting the Marine Corps’ core values of discipline, endurance, and readiness. These standards ensure every Marine—whether in training, active duty, or deployment—maintains peak performance and combat readiness. From minimum and maximum height requirements to detailed Marine Corps weight charts for men and women, the regulations are designed to balance strength, stamina, and overall health. If a Marine exceeds chart limits, a body fat test provides a fairer assessment.
