Firepower - Assault from the Sea (Part 1/3)

The most dangerous of military missions is the amphibious assault. Join the modern Marine forces and see the surprising capabilities of their new equipment. Watch the advanced vehicles that carry them to shore, the most hi-tech development being hovercraft, which are equally effective over land and water!

This is a documentary which shows amphibious assault forces which storm the beaches with the United States Marines in landing craft.

I admire the US Marines because of the size but talking about quality the Marines themselves have stated that some other marine forces in the world are just as good as they are... Im talking about the Royal Marines, the Fusiliers Marins and the Infanteria de Marina to name just a few :D

[OlderG0ds]

@Semeiron I totally agree. I don't think the narrator should have said they are "the best in the world" because that's more of an opinion. They might be the most powerful Marine force in the world, but other Marines are just as good, ie: Royal Marines of UK.

That said I am very proud of our forces, my dad was a US Marine for 20 years so I got to know a lot about them. They are truly a force to be reckoned with.

@ReolSPro

Because Marines fly the Harrier.

[sewarforlife]

it kinda sucks that the biggest amphibious assault was done by the army.

[Semeiron]

@OlderG0ds thx for the quick reply, Im a retired spanish armada marine, I have worked with US marines in BN Rota as comrades, good old times and friends :)

[wokkie78]

no matter how sophisticated the equipment is, its the rifleman that is the best weapon of all!

the US marines are Huge, in comparisson, our country (netherland) has only 3000 marines. the US marines are larger then our complete armed forces. But it's kinda sad that both forces are bogged down in a endless and useless war in afghanistan. ( been there)

[SuperWeng10]

marines are unique they have their ship, their army and airforce all in one.
