- A brotherhood of gun mindset maintained by simple and warm human relationships between comrades in arms;
- An ability to adapt to the most unusual situations, a true lifestyle product of history and operational experience repeated;
- A "military humanism", perpetuating culture of others including the ability to make contacts with the most diverse populations and to gain their trust. These high values of identity give meaning to the commitment of the Marsouin and Bigord and always based natural vocation of marine troops serving outre-mer and abroad.
