US MARINE CORPS Sniper On November 10th, 1775, the Continental Congress passed a resolution to raise two battalions of Marines for service with the fleet. This event marked the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Since that time, Marines have served on land, sea and in the air establishing traditions of duty, strength, sacrifice, discipline and determination. Today the USMC stands ready to continue in the proud tradition of all those who have previously served valiantly in so many theatres as U.S. Marines. Bring the Marines home with the Elite Force: Modern U.S. Marine Corps Soldier - 12-inch Military Action Figure from Blue Box. Highly detailed and fully articulated, this figure comes equipped with: fabric jungle hat, Desert camo BDU shirt and trousers, scarf, boots, body armor, four M-16 A3 magazine pouches, two grenade pouches, water bottle and pouch, M16 A3 rifle, three M16 A3 magazines and much more.The sniper's role is to deliver highly accurate, discriminatory fire against selected targets, which cannot be engaged successfully by regular riflemen owing to problems of range, size, location, mobile nature or visibility. These highly skilled individuals have basic infantry skills as well as specialised training in camouflage, survival techniques and equipment operation. Snipers are an extremely effective 'force multiplier' because of their long-range marksmanship, field craft skills and their ability to operate with maximum efficiency and minimum risk. |
