Spanish Marines amphibious assault exercise Noble Justification 2014 via Defense Media.



Interesting.  If the "current" plan goes forward the USMC will look more like the Spanish Marine Corps (Italians too) than anything I've seen so far.  They use a mix of AAV and 8 wheeled Piranha APC (Italy of course uses the Iveco SuperAV) for transport.  Its also noteworthy to see that they use M109's in the artillery role and 105 howitzers.  Who would have thought it.  The USMC is following the lead of the Spanish and Italian Marine Corps.

    Sol, I just want to add that the Spanish Marines (Infantería de Marina) is the oldest marine infantry corps in the world, from XVI century to now.
