Your earlier post about the structure of a "standard" USMC Infantry Battalion is dead nuts on.
Have 2 USMC Long Campaigns going - versus Iran in 2010 and one vs NK in 1985. I just started the NK one so I will restart and give your OOB a test run.
Thanks again.

Of course the problem with the USMC is NOTHING is "standard"
But yes, the structure in my OOB revision is the typical one used in training and as the "base line" for creating whatever task-organized force is needed for a given mission.
Thanks! Nice to hear another Jarhead plays this game...I was getting worried that the "real meaning" of Marine might be true:
Muscles
Are
Required
Intelligence
Not
Essential
