Mission

"Make a Difference. Get Involved!"

The program was established to provide a forum for Marines to identify quality of life ideas and issues to recommend solutions that can directly influence the planning, coordination, and execution of programs and activities related to the largest percentage of the Marine Corps. 

According to MCCS, "each major installation has an established SMP Council that meets regularly. The Council is composed of unit representatives from throughout the command. Each Council elects’ leaders to serve on the executive council including President, Vice President, Scribe, and Treasurer. These positions provide leadership, motivation, and accountability to the other council members. They represent the installation at meetings and other working groups on items relevant to single Marines. The executive council also works closely with the SMP Coordinator and the installation sergeant major."
