Infantry Weapons

Picture
The basic infantry weapon of the marine corps is the m16 assault rifle family, There are a majority of marines equipped with the m16A2 or m16A4 which as been known as the m4 carbine. They use the m249 SAW which they use for suppression fire. If they are looking for some heavy fire then they use the so called- m203 grenade launcher in fireteams. If they are looking for some precision fire then they use designated marksmen rifle (DMR) and m40A3 sniper rifle and to also give the US marines some anti tank and defense abilities they use the SMAW or AT4 rockets.

Ground vehicles

 The Corps operates the same High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV) and M1A1 abrams tank is the US Army basic and most powerfull tank. However, for its specific needs, the Corps uses a number of unique vehicles. The LAV-25 is a dedicated wheeled armored personnel carrier, similar to the Army's Stryker vehicle, used to provide strategic mobility. Amphibious capability is provided by the AAV-7A1 amphibious assault vehicle, an armored tracked vehicle that doubles as an Armored personel vehicle, due to be replaced by the EXpeditionary fighting vehicle, a faster vehicle with superior armor and weaponry.

Air support

Picture
Today, the basic framework for deployable Marine units is the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF), a flexible structure of varying size. A MAGTF integrates a ground combat element (GCE), an aviation combat element (ACE), and a logistics combat element (LCE) under a common command element (CE), capable of operating independently or as part of a larger coalition. The MAGTF structure reflects a strong tradition in the Corps towards self-sufficiency and a commitment to combined arms, both essential assets to an expeditionary force often called upon to act independently in discrete, time-sensitive situations. The history of the Marine Corps as well has led to a wariness of overreliance on its sister services, and towards joint operations in general.

My opinion

In my opinion it looks like some heavy firepower.I think that they should continue on to produce better vehicles, weapons and aircraft which has better firepower and mobility.
