Executive Orders Archive
The United States Marine Corps issue executive orders to help officers and agencies of the USMC management operations. Executive orders have the full force of law when they take authority from a power granted directly to the General, Senior Staff, or are made in pursuance of certain Acts of the Military Issuance Council that explicitly delegate to the Secretary some degree of discretionary power. Like statutes or regulations promulgated by agencies, executive orders are subject to judicial review, and may be struck down if deemed by the Office of the Inspector General to be unsupported by statute. Major policy initiatives usually require approval by the Military Issuance Council, but executive orders have significant influence over the internal affairs of the USMC, deciding how and to what degree laws will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging war, and in general fine policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes.
