Re: Usmc oob
Looking it over the other problem is it only carries 9 troops. There's just not enough space on the amphib ships to carry enough of them to land a full battalion, and I don't see the USMC downsizing their rifle squads from 13 to 9 men anytime soon, the size of the rifle squad/platoon/company has been the ONLY constant in the USMC OOB since 1944, it works very well with their tactics and usual missions.
