First Platoon, Alpha Company, 1/2 — the ones who go first so that others will follow.

Alpha Company, 1st Platoon, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines is a rifle platoon within the 2nd Marine Division at MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines has a combat lineage stretching back to World War I, and the motto “Others Will Follow” captures the aggressive, lead-from-the-front spirit that defines Marine infantry. Alpha Company’s 1st Platoon represents the smallest tactical unit commemorated here — the 40-odd Marines who train together, deploy together, and fight together as a cohesive team. The platoon level is where Marine infantry leadership is most personal and most critical.
