Re: US Military Photo thread II

point of interest in that last picture the second marine from the front is not packing a Marine M240 Gulf but a Army M240 Bravo the key difference is the heat guard. in the last year or two the Marines have begun picking up the bravo's probably because of the hand-gaurd's 1913 accessory's rails

Marines with Company F, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment begin a raid after being placed into position by helicopter Feb. 17. The raid was the first done as part of a training evolution here Feb. 16-20. Raids are unlike most operations that the infantry Marines conduct, in that they are supposed to attack a target and conduct a planned withdrawal, rather than occupy a position. The training was done in preparation for their upcoming deployment with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit later this year.

Re: Todays Hi-res US Navy Photos!

must have been a slow day for pop's as he posted the same pics three times.

Any who the Ea-6b Prowler is a unique aircraft as it is one of the last of a breed dating back too the Vietnam conflict the aircraft began its life as the A-6 intruder but the needs of the navy for a new Suppression enemy air defense aircraft lead too the expansion of the A-6 platform the aircraft was lengthened and a second cockpit added bringing it's crew too four, Jamming pods and other Electronic warfare equipment was added. the bravo prowler upped the sophistication of the equipment and is in use by the navy and Marines. the Navy plans too replace it's Prowlers with EA-18G growlers some time in the coming years the Marines with the F-35B some time later ( along with every other fighter class aircraft in there service)
