My DI (Drill Instructor) in 1950 said it was to "Seek out the enemy and destroy him."
I accepted that premise, I also learned that the "Buddy on your right, and the Buddy on your left are your responsibility" from people like Chesty Puller and Victor H. (The Brute} Krulak.) Accepted! Understood! (And thus you survived for one more day to seek out the enemy and destroy him.) (If that sounds like "Beer Talk", it probably is.)
