designed in 1996
the crucible is the final test in recruit training, and represents the culmination of all of the skills and knowledge a marine should possess. designed in 1996 to emphasize the importance of teamwork in overcoming adversity, the crucible is a rigorous 54-hour field training exercise demanding the application of everything a recruit has learned until that point in recruit training and includes a total of 48 miles of marching. it simulates typical combat situations with strenuous testing, hardship and the deprivation of food and sleep. recruits are given two mres (a self-contained, individual field ration). the recruits are only allowed six hours of sleep through the entire 54-hour event. recruits are broken into squad-sized teams (possibly smaller) and placed under the charge of one drill instructor. throughout the crucible, recruits are faced with physical and mental challenges that must be accomplished before advancing further. teamwork is stressed, as the majority of tasks are impossible without it—each group must succeed or fail as a whole. the others will fail unless every recruit passes through together, requiring the team to aid their fellow recruit(s) who struggle in the accomplishment of the given mission. also stressed are the corps' core values of "honor, courage, and commitment"—events sometimes present a moral challenge. many challenge events are named after marine medal of honor or otherwise notable marines and drill instructors will often take the time to read the citation of the award and hold a guided discussion with the recruits to evaluate their moral development. drill instructors are also vigilant for those recruits who succeed and fail in leadership positions.
