 Marines provide aid in the Philippines, the Corps switches to a universal cover, and a look at the freakiest piece of equipment you'll see all week. All that coming up next on the Corps Report. Welcome to the Corps Report, I'm Lance Corporal Ali Bisoner, and I'm Lance Corporal Clayton Phillipovitch. Approximately 250 Marines and Sailors deployed to the Philippines in support of a humanitarian relief effort following Typhoon Hyatt. More than 4 million people and 36 provinces have been affected by the Typhoon, leading the government of the Philippines to request U.S. assistance in relief efforts. The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade lifted 107,000 pounds of supplies on Tuesday alone. They continued to deliver supplies to the affected areas. At this time, we would like to offer our condolences to the families and friends of all victims and all those affected by this disaster. In other news, on November 6th, the Commonwealth of the Marine Corps General James Amos selected a universal service and dress cover for all Marines. The universal cover looks just like this. I'm looking forward to the change because I'm not really a fan of the current cover. Leave your comments and tell us what you think about the universal covers. In New Mar, admin will be released with more information to the uniform change. For the first time ever, Marines controlled a new piece of equipment that resembles a robotic pack mule. The legged squad support system is a 1,300 pound metallic beast created to reduce the load Marines haul on their backs. We went to Massachusetts to bring you the story on the new gear. The robot walks on four legs and uses sensors to follow two black strips on the Marine controlling it. The Marines operate the system, then offer their feedback to improve mobility, stealth, and protection. To learn more, click on the link in the video description.
