The U.S. Marine Corps has successfully passed a clean financial audit for the third consecutive year, confirming the accuracy and compliance of its financial records. This achievement distinguishes the Corps from the rest of the Department of Defense, which has not achieved a clean audit since the requirement was established in 2018.

The Marine Corps operates on a budget of approximately $54 billion for fiscal 2025 and is projected to request about $57 billion for fiscal 2026. The Corps' audit process reflects significant modernization efforts in financial tracking and accountability.
