 The Marine Corps has always been known for adapting to an ever-changing battlefield. The most recent case in point is the combat shooting team. The Marine Corps combat shooting team takes part in three-gun competitions where pistol, rifle, and shotguns are applied to a course designed around combat engagements, something the team, which includes 200 warriors, is familiar with. All of them are experienced combat veterans who have been out there and are now in a billet that allows them to take what they did in combat, see what's going on in the world of competition, and then bring it back to the world of combat marksmanship. The combat shooting team, though similar in the spirit of competition, brings different skillsets to mind than the Corps' rifle and pistol shooting teams. With the combat shooting team, it gives us, it's more dynamic. So your magazine changes, it's shooting multiple targets, shooting on the move, shooting moving targets. Those are all the skills that the rifle and pistol team, they don't bring us because they focus more on the static precision marksmanship. So it kind of really completes the whole marksmanship program when you're talking about Marine combat riflemen and the skills that he's going to need. Team members say the three-gun courses will evolve, giving Marines a chance to review their equipment and techniques. It's not so much just rifle, pistol, shotgun. It's full kit. It's a good way for Marines to test out their gear, test out their skillsets, and on a personal level, you know, see where they're at, see where they're sitting with their peers. The team competes in combat shooting competitions, both in the States and abroad, in learning techniques and weapon systems from other competitors. From Washington, I'm Lance Corporal, John Tucker.
