THE MISSION of the Marine Corps Coordinating Council, Southeast Texas is to provide coordinated assistance to Marine, Fleet Marine Force Navy Veterans, and their families in Houston, Galveston, and the entire Southeast Texas Area in conjunction with existing Marine Corps Support Service.  Our Purpose: 1. TO PLAN for and coordinate mutual support and assistance between Marine Corps agencies in the planning and execution of domestic action activities, public information activities and recruiting activities. 2. TO RECEIVE, process and amplify information on events and activities in the Council Area which can be exploited in ways that support Marine Corps procurement and recruiting missions. 3. TO DISSEMINATE information concerning activities planned by Marine agencies to other Marine agencies in the area when the planned activity is expected to have an impact on the civilian community. 4. TO PRESENT awards for outstanding acts by Marines or for outstanding service benefiting Marine Corps Objectives and which are in the public interest. 5. TO PROVIDE scholarship assistance at all academic levels for members of the Marine Corps Family, including Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Navy personnel who cannot pursue necessary schooling without such financial assistance. 6. TO PROVIDE aid and assistance to personnel in the Marine Corps Family, including FMF Navy personnel, in unusual periods of need occasioned by illness, temporary hardship or financial distress. The Marine Corps Coordinating Council is in the process of implementing sweeping changes. Although our mission and basic processes will remain relatively the same, the plan is to refresh the look, feel, and appeal of the Council as a powerful entity in the Houston-Galveston, South-East, and South Texas. As the President, I would like to encourage everyone on this page to become engaged in our future. It is our intent to bring the MARINE FAMILY together in TEXAS! SEMPER FIDELIS!
