Impressive, but wish the article had explained which calibre of US Marine because UK Marine > US Marine. Presumably they wouldn’t choose an unsuitable unit for an important exercise, but UK Marines are an elite group, whereas any military-age American can become a US Marine by having basic physical fitness, an IQ > 79, and signing on the dotted line.
