Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

Pretty nice vid of what it's like to be attacked by the USMC.

Note the lack of armor, number of helos and the height that fly at.

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

You and I both know official doctrine and reality tend to have a way of being not quite the same.

Besides given the situation in Afghanistan (i.e. IEDs) I don't think their peacetime training was...

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

I hadn't been aware the USMC is divesting itself of integral law enforcement capability (i.e. Military Police).

As a former MP (and Watch Commander, i.e. I was the one in charge of everything...

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

Thank you!

Looks like it's just re-tasking the "Scout/Sniper" to just "Scout".
Many of the same skills are used by both scouts and snipers. This is a major reason the Scout/Sniper platoons were...

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

As I mentioned in an earlier post.
Someone is FAR to enamored with "push button" warfare.
I really don't expect many of the recent changes to last when the current Commandant retires/is replaced.

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

What I've been doing is incorporating changes that ARE being implemented before the 2025 end-date for WinSPMBT and more-or-less ignoring what's planned in 2026 and beyond.

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

I'm in the process of updating the USMC OOB for 2023 and while creating formations I found myself thinking about an order given to the North Koreans/Chinese during the Korean War (1950-1953).

The problem is the 10 unit limit in formations when it comes to motorized, mechanized, or heloborne forces.

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

It seems the 12-man squad was just a(nother) temporary blip in USMC unit organization.

The 15-man squad squad is the new norm.

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

Useful info for early date scenarios.

Most modern scenarios (late Vietnam to present day) should be based around an MEU which uses a composite helo squadron which is usually:
2x AH-1
3x UH-1
6x...

Re: The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

The USMC really stresses accurate fire over volume of fire.

Aside from tradition there's a excellent reason for this. Unlike the US Army there's rarely a resupply vehicle nearby. What you're...

The USMC has always been "Light Infantry", just with heavy supporting assets in terms of helos/air. And when near the coast the fire support of whatever the US Navy has nearby.

The USMC will drive you crazy !!!

Don, Andy ... I hate you!

By extending WinSPMBT from 2020 to 2025 you've created a lot of OOB work for us.
