Active Marine and Family Status 4,585 single Marines have 6,770 dependent children (2.5% of all Marines) (Data Source: TFDW December 2014). The Marine Corps has 7,579 dual military families (Data Source: TFDW December 2014). The average Marine family has 1.15 children (Data Source: TFDW December 2014).

Thousands Active Marine and Family Status There was an increase in the number of children of Marines across most age groups from 2007 to 2011, with the sharpest increases occurring in the infant and school-age groups.

In 2008, there were 0.57 children per Marine, and in 2011 there were 0.63 children for each Marine. The current rate has decreased slightly to 0.60 children per Marine (Data Source: DMDC - December 2014).
