Correctional Custody Unit

{{Short description|Disciplinary program in the US Marine Corps}}

The Correctional Custody Unit (CCU or Remotivation Platoon) is a disciplinary program in the United States Marine Corps under which "salvageable" offenders are provided "re-education, refocusing and re-greening". The intent of the program is to resolve disciplinary issues without more serious recourse like confinement to the brig or a court martial.{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.stripes.com/news/corrections-unit-aims-top-put-marines-back-on-course-1.2614 |title=Corrections unit aims top put Marines back on course - News |work=Stripes |date=6 March 2003 |accessdate=2016-12-23}}
