What are the conditions for joining the United States Marine Corps?

At present, the total number of marine corps in active service is about194,000 (including 4,000 women), and the reserve is about 38,000. These organizations are composed of four divisions and four aircraft wings (all three regular troops and one reserve force). Compared with other US forces, these two organizations are slightly larger. It is particularly obvious that the total number of teachers is about 18000, which is about 20% higher than that of US Army Normal University. Marine corps member

The Marine Corps emphasizes the combination of combat tactics and the Marine Corps air-ground task force: their air support is closely integrated with the armed battle groups on the ground. Each division has three infantry regiments, and each infantry regiment has three battalions, plus a reconnaissance battalion, equipped with an 8×8 piranha armored vehicle and an attached M60A 1 main battle tank. Each rifle battalion has a battalion company, a service company, a weapon company and three rifle companies. The standard Marine Corps Aircraft Wing (MAW) has 18 to 2 1 squadrons, equipped with 286 to 3 15 fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft, ranging from fighter/attack aircraft (F/A-L8 Hornet), medium-sized attack aircraft (A-6 invaders and AV-8 Seahawk) to tankers/tankers. And Ov- 10 mustang and EA-6B ranger squadron. A United States Marine Corps officer with a sword.

The special creed of the Marine Corps has unparalleled advantages in tactics, that is, the principle of attaching importance to attack action, which can be applied to all aspects of marine corps activities. This trend has also greatly affected the way the Marine Corps is equipped. The Marine Corps is equipped with AAv- 7 amphibious assault vehicle, which can "swim" to the shore in waves as high as 3m. At present, the tactical thinking strongly advocates "vertical encirclement": the marine corps and light armored vehicles land behind the enemy defense forces on the coast by helicopter. This shows the importance of AH-IT Cobra helicopter gunship, because it is equipped with 20mm cannon, rockets and towed anti-tank missiles. weapon

Infantry companies are equipped with M 16A2 rifles, and the main force has been changed to M 16A4 rifles, a few of them still use M 16A2 rifles, and the forwards use M4A 1 rifles; M203 40mm Grenade launcher; M249 automatic weapon and M60E3 general machine gun. M60E3 is adopted by 1985, which is a lighter and better version of the old M60 adopted by the former army. Support weapons include 60mm light cannons and shoulder-fired attack weapons; Rocket-propelled "Bunker buster". Anti-tank weapons include M47 dragon anti-tank missile, AT-4 and towed missile. Marine artillery squadron is equipped with M 198 155mm howitzer; M 109 self-propelled howitzer and British 105mm gun. Every member of the Marine Corps requires the use of M 1 Abrams tanks instead of M60A 1. The standard attack fighter of the Marine Corps is F/A- 18 Hornet, equipped with 13 active squadrons. It is also used as a trainer. The Marine Corps was originally a supporter of the V/STOL Seahawk, and now it is operating the AV-8B Seahawk II for combat/ground attack. At present, there are about 150 fighters of this type on the front line, and about 30 two-seat TAV-8A/B are used for pilot training tasks. It is also equipped with a V-22 to transport the Marines.

Edit this paragraph, choose and train.

All members of the United States Armed Forces are now volunteers, and those recruits who want to join the Marine Corps can join directly. Freshmen are directly assigned to one of two training bases in San Diego, California and Paris, South Carolina, where they need to go through the famous 13 week "freshman training" (12 week training and 1 week final field survival drill). Once they finish the training, they will be very grateful for the experience, but that doesn't mean they want to do it again! Surprisingly, in terms of its scale, the Marine Corps does not have its own officer training school, although some of them come from the Naval Academy in Pokhris. The main sources of its officers are the Naval Reserve Officer Training (ROTc), the Reserve Officer School (OCS) or long classes. All reserve officers (including those from Pohris and Ana) must pass strict selection and training. Soldier training

The marine corps is a small unit in the navy. The marine corps first appeared in the era of navigation. At that time, the Marine Corps was a unit that boarded enemy ships for hand-to-hand combat when the ships were fighting at sea. In addition, the Marine Corps is also responsible for the safety of ships, protecting officers on board and preventing sailors from mutiny. So far, the main task of the Marine Corps is to launch amphibious attacks from the sea and land and establish beachheads in the coastal areas controlled by the enemy. Let subsequent friendly forces, especially the army, land and seize enemy territory. In the United States, the Marine Corps is not directly subordinate to the Navy, but one of the five major armed forces (the other four are: Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard). The Marine Corps is provided with transportation and ships by the navy, but it has independent combat capability and its own flying troops. The commander of the Marine Corps is also directly responsible only to the Secretary of the Navy (civilian). In addition to amphibious attacks, the US Marine Corps also has traditional responsibilities such as protecting embassies abroad, standing guard for the White House, and being responsible for the internal security of major ships. 1775l65438+1October 10, the US Congress issued a decree to formally create the Marine Corps as a part of the US armed forces. During the years of the American Revolution, the newly formed US Marine Corps participated in the Bahamas Expedition and Princeton and other battles. The naval battle with France in l798 laid the foundation for today's US Marine Corps. The United States Marine Corps participated in all wars and expeditions in the early United States. Almost throughout the19th century, the Marine Corps was mainly deployed on ships or ports and used as a detachment of Zhejie. In 65438+February, a frontline base army, Marine Corps Synthetic Brigade l9l3, was born. 1918 In June, during World War I, the US Marine Corps became famous when it attacked Belo Yuanlin on the western front. In World War II, the Marine Corps, as the vanguard of the American Pacific Campaign, was more familiar to everyone. After the battles in Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc., the size of the Marine Corps has expanded to no less than 500,000, consisting of armored units and naval and air ground forces. Because of their heroic and tenacious fighting, they got the reputation of "outlaws" Since 1945, the US Marine Corps has basically formed an amphibious rapid deployment force that can be mobilized at any time. Whether it is 1958 Lebanon. 1965 In Dominica, the US Marine Corps quickly helped the pro-western government to quell domestic riots and participated in some important battles. In the Korean War, the Marine Corps was the first American army to participate in the war. 1965, the marine corps was first sent to Vietnam. In the North Vietnam 1968 Spring Festival offensive, the Marine Corps successfully defended Hue and Xishan, once again creating a legend for people. After the withdrawal from Vietnam War, the number of marines has been reduced to 654.38+0.94 million, but they are still showing people their existence, such as 654.38+0.982 joining the multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, 654.38+0.983 invasion of grenada, and 654.38+0.965.438+invading Panama. It can be said that the Marine Corps is a pawn of the US government and an elite division of the Pentagon. According to the U.S. Constitution, the Marine Corps is the only unit in the U.S. military that can be used without the approval of the President by Congress. Therefore, it is not under the jurisdiction of the navy like the marine corps in other countries, but an independent service, and its status is even higher than other services. The commander of the Marine Corps, like the commanders of other services, is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States and can also serve as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest position of the US military ruling group. The Marine Corps also has its own aviation unit, tank unit, artillery unit and its own school, and military expenditure is given priority. So you can buy better weapons and equipment than other arms and services.

Among them, combat troops/KLOC-0.09 million, support troops 44,000 and logistics troops 30,000.

ground forces

The ground forces have three marine divisions. 1 The Marine Division is attached to the 1 Expeditionary Force of the Marine Corps of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, and is now stationed at Camp pendleton, California. It is the main division of the US Marine Corps and the strategic mobile force of the US military in the Pacific. The 2nd Marine Division belongs to the 2nd Expeditionary Force of the US Navy Atlantic Fleet, and is now stationed in Norfolk Barracks, Virginia. It is the main division of the US Strategic Reserve and the mobile assault force of the Marine Corps of the Atlantic Fleet. The 3rd Marine Division belongs to the 3rd Expeditionary Force of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy and is now stationed in Okinawa, Japan. It is a mobile combat unit of the US military in the Pacific Ocean. In addition, there is a reserve division stationed in Moyugo Bay in New Orleans. The Marine Division is one of the ground combat divisions with the largest number of personnel in the world, and it is also the only combat division in the US military that uses the three regiments system. Each marine division has a division battalion and a subordinate unit. Directly under the detachment, there are light armored vehicle battalion, tank battalion, reconnaissance battalion, engineering battalion, amphibious assault battalion and health battalion. The combat troops are three infantry regiments, and the combat support force is an artillery regiment. The establishment of the whole department is 18500. The infantry regiment consists of a regiment company and three infantry battalions. When performing tasks independently, it is generally necessary for the superior to assign a combat support and combat service support unit. The artillery regiment consists of a regiment company, a target search company, two direct support artillery battalions and two all-round support artillery battalions, with different preparation and equipment. The infantry battalion consists of a battalion company, a weapons company and three infantry companies. Weapon company consists of company, mortar platoon, anti-tank platoon and heavy machine gun. An infantry company consists of a company, a weapons platoon and three infantry platoons. The weapon platoon consists of machine gun platoon, mortar platoon, assault weapon infantry platoon and three squads 13. The task of an adult marine division is to carry out amphibious assault operations under the guidance and support of aviation and stamina support forces.

The main aviation unit of the US Marine Corps is the Naval Air Wing (affiliated to the Marine Corps). Each aviation wing has 65438+4000 people. Under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. 2~3 attack aircraft and fighter aviation brigade. 1~2 helicopter aviation brigade and other combat and service support forces. The task of aviation is to help ground troops to carry out maneuvers. Support the landing of ground troops and coastal operations.

Logistics unit

The logistics unit of the US Marine Corps is organized into a service support brigade (under the Marine Corps Division). Its main task is to provide all kinds of material backup support for combat troops. Equipment maintenance and medical assistance to ensure that all combat troops have a high degree of independent combat capability. As an elite team, in addition to sophisticated weapons and lean preparation, the quality of personnel should also be improved. Members of the United States Marine Corps are strictly selected. To emphasize, SEALs are navy special forces, not marines. The US Marine Corps is an independent service. Unlike the navy, it is not a subordinate of the navy, but a parallel service. The Marine Corps has its own special forces, such as reconnaissance troops.

The tasks of the Marine Corps are divided into three major areas. The main task is to maintain amphibious combat capability. In addition, the Marine Corps is required to send units to naval bases and major naval warships. Finally, the Marine Corps must perform the extra tasks requested by the President of the United States. united states marine corps

Edit this passage of the US Marine Corps Land and Air Task Force (MAGTF)

MAGTF is a battle group composed of land and air support forces under the command of a single commander. The strength and establishment of MAGTF will be adjusted according to "mission needs" and "enemy combat power". The key to this flexible organization of formal line-by-line operations is that the basic task force is composed of the following four types of troops: A: command force (CE) b: ground combat force (GCE) c: air combat force (ACE) b: combat logistics support force (CSSE) CE (command element) is responsible for the integration and command of GCE, ACE and CSSE; GCE (Ground, Combat Elements) The strength of ground combat troops is usually one battalion to one division, and sometimes even larger. These include artillery battalion, chariot battalion, reconnaissance battalion, amphibious battalion and other land station battalions, combat engineering battalion and other units; The scale of ACE (aviation, combat elements) varies from a helicopter reinforced squadron to a company, and may be larger, including air strike support aviation unit, landing support aviation unit, air reconnaissance unit, air combat aviation unit, electronic warfare aviation unit and command and control department. The logistics support force of CSSE (Combat Service Support Unit) land station expedition can be adjusted according to its strength. It has 18 kinds of logistics operation capabilities such as material supply, mobile transportation, construction business, technical engineer, medical treatment and dentistry. MAGTF will be organized according to the needs of the mission, and basically divided into three types: A: Land Station Expeditionary Force (MEF) b: Land Station Expeditionary Force (MEB) c: Land Station Expeditionary Force (MEU). All three types of troops can provide equipment in the Maritime Preset Team (MPS). These three types of combat organizations are distinguished according to the scale of conflicts, and their combat tasks are as follows: a: MEU = immediate response in case of limited conflicts, short-term combat without support, and usually forward (sea) deployment; B: MEB = used for the preparation of low-intensity or medium-intensity wars, which can be used for long-term operations or maritime deployment; C: MEF = maximum operational establishment, and all-round operational tasks are carried out regardless of any intensity and geographical environment. There are always three MEFs in the land station team, one of which belongs to Atlantic Fleet Command and the other two belong to Pacific Fleet Command. Including the 2nd Ground Station Expeditionary Force (MEF) stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, the 1st Ground Station Expeditionary Force (headquartered in pendleton Barracks, California) and the 3rd Ground Station Expeditionary Force (headquartered in Butler Barracks, Qiu Shu) stationed in the Pacific Ocean. Here, the Third Land Station Expeditionary Force is the only MEF deployed overseas, with bases in Qiu Shu and South Korea.
