Gen. Roberta Shea told Marine Corps Times in a phone interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe thought there\u2019s probably a need for a rallying point where Marines and their leader could in a more centralized place, get information about these programs that were available, get support from one another and see how we could help these Marines sustain their readiness during their pregnancy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2021\/02\/09\/marine-mothers-now-have-1-year-after-giving-birth-to-pass-fitness-tests\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4156561.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Marine mothers are now exempt from fitness tests, weight standards for 1 year after giving birth<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">In its new policy, the Marine Corps listed breast milk production as one of the many factors leading to the change.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program is named after the Greek goddess of the hunt and childbirth, a combination that made the name a great fit for the new program, Shea told Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we were looking for a name, we were looking for a historical or mythological figure that embodied the idea that you can be a tough warrior and a mom,\u201d the Marine logistics group commander said. \u201cArtemis being both the goddess of the hunt, and of maternal things was just a natural fit.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far the program has three Artemis groups (located on the 14 area, 22 area and 43 area of the California base) helping the just over 100 prenatal or postpartum Marines currently serving within the Marine logistics group, Shea said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the Marine logistics group has launched the program, pregnant Marines from any of the other units stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, are welcome to attend the meetings, the Marine commander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u2018Great Marines who are also great moms\u2019  <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program has started as the Marine Corps has put a larger emphasis on ensuring Marines are given more resources that allow them to maintain both their family and their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe should never ask our Marines to choose between being the best parent possible and the best Marine possible,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2020\/02\/21\/top-marine-says-his-immediate-execution-items-include-more-gender-integration-smarter-grunts-and-changes-to-parental-leave-policy-for-adoptive-same-sex-parents\/\" target=_blank>Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger<\/a> said in his planning guidance in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early February the Marine Corps updated a policy order extending the time new moms have to recover from giving birth from nine months to a full year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Artemis program will help Marines get access to the resources at the Naval hospital and Marine Corps community service options already available to them, including resources that will help them create a personalized workout program to help them healthily get back to within Marine Corps standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re going to talk about how you sustain your fitness and readiness through your pregnancy and then when you can expect to recover your operational readiness afterward,\u201d Shea said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines in the program will be assisted by Artemis mentors, Marines who already have \u201chad successful experiences being warriors and moms,\u201d the commander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To become a mentor Marines on Pendleton should talk to the commanding officers sponsoring the Artemis groups or to the leadership of the 1st Marine logistics group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have leaders who want to pass down their experiences,\u201d Shea said of the \u201coverwhelming\u201d response from Marines trying to become mentors. \u201cI have seen so many experiences during my career of great Marines who are also great moms.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marines on leave or deployed with the Marine logistics group will have the option of online classes and video chats with mentors, Shea said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the program is targeted for Marine moms, a few dads have started showing up to events trying to learn, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the really great things that we saw was there are a lot of new dads who are who are interested \u2026 to learn more about how they can be more effective supporters of their families,\u201d Shea said. \u201cThat was an unintended consequence, but certainly we welcome the new dads as well.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Shea hopes any short-term readiness goals will be outstripped by the long-term effects of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne potential consequence of this effort, of this near-term investment, is that we have some long-term retention and that these Marines are able to envision a path for themselves as both warriors and parent,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Artemis
