USMC Weight Charts

Military.com | by Stew Smith

The following tables reflect the Marine Corps weight standards for both male and female Marines.

All Marines are expected to maintain the Marine Corps height and weight standards. A large component of operational readiness is the physical fitness of the individual Marines.

Marines who are under- or overweight based on the Corps' standards are enrolled in the Marine Corps body composition program, which helps the Marines return to fighting trim.
