  • Every Marine is a rifleman, but to fight at the tip of our Nation’s spear requires a mastery of many different weapons. As battlefields evolve, so too does the manner in which Marines are armed and equipped. Missions that involve urban room-clearing techniques require different weapons than those necessitating long-distance marksmanship. Watch how the Marine Corps ensures the warfighting capabilities of every Marine are enhanced with extensive weapons training.
