A Report On The Seals

Method: By reading MCWP 6-11 Leading Marines, answer and write an analysis on the objectives given per instruction.

The Marines are a highly mobile amphibious attack force. Marines are trained to attack from the water and establish a beach head, an area of control on foreign soil. After the Marines take territory, other armed forces such as the US Army move in to maintain control, while the Marines move on. Marines are mobile, lightweight, and very rapid. I would compare the Marines to the head of the spear, wedging in to get a foothold and racing ahead once the land has been secured. In addition to acting as a lightweight attack force from the ocean, Marines are also perfectly capable of taking territory on land. Marines are trained for rapid deployment, and are often the first US military personnel on site. Marines also guard American embassies overseas, providing embassy security and safety. In volatile areas, being a Marine embassy guard is a very risky job.

I believe that the mission of the author, Victor H. Krulak, Lieutenant General, USMC (Ret.), in writing this book was to describe how vital the United States Marine Corps is to our nation and that through the extensive preparation and training we receive, we have become the leading fighting force on and off the battle field. The purpose of this book was to inspire readers about the Marine Corps and to explain stories about how different equipment came into the Corps and how we perfected them. The author’s goal was the educate readers based on his personal experiences

10. I believe that every marine should definitely read this book. This book tells about true commitment and courage is about there is a lot to learn from this book. I agree with all the points that the author gave in his writing and think that this book should remain in the commandant’s reading list.

On November 10th, 1775 the Marine Corps was established in Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War. Since that time, the Marines have played an important role in securing America’s freedom through countless battles. The Marines have distinguished themselves as an elite force specializing in military tactics which assist in defeating the enemy under any circumstance. The Marine Corps is a small branch with limited personnel which allows them the

At dawn, the Marine 1st Battalion, 5th Marines—commanded by Major Julius Turrill—was to attack Hill 142, but only two companies were in position. The Marines advanced in waves with bayonets fixed across an open wheat field that was swept with German machine gun and artillery fire, and many Marines were cut down.[9][10] Captain Crowther commanding the 67th Company was killed almost immediately. Captain Hamilton and the 49th Company fought from wood to wood, fighting the entrenched Germans and overrunning their objective by 6 yards (5.5 m). At this point, Hamilton had lost all five junior officers, while the 67th had only one commissioned officer alive. Hamilton reorganized the two companies, establishing strong points and a defensive line.[11]

It was outstanding that during the strategy planning for the attack of the city one of the main concerns of the Lieutenant General Natonski was that the battle would result in a humanitarian crisis, but most of the civilians had abandoned the city before. Natonski was able to avoid civil casualties as much as possible but not proper to damage as much as hoped because, citing his own words: “You can always rebuild a house, but you cannot rebuild a life. It was important to protect the Marines and soldiers”. 5

Canadians take pride in many things whether it is a national sport, tradition or culture. But why do Canadians turn a blind eye on Seal Hunting? Do they feel bad for the animals? Do they take seal hunting as a form of animal cruelty? Or do they just don’t want to shine a light on it because it is considered a national disgrace among many Canadians?

I believe I was right sir, I believe I did my job, and I will not dishonor myself, my unit, or the Corps so I can go home in six months... Sir (Reiner, Rob)." The code meaning that they would protect in that order. If one marine was slacking, it would affect the entire unit. Without the unit, they could not follow the order. So it was Dawson, and Downey's job to train Santiago, a marine who was failing in his duty, as ordered by Col. Nathan Jessep. This order was known as a "Code Red", an unofficial illegal order by someone to train a marine who is falling behind. It is not stated anywhere in the marine handbook, it is just known.

Marines will always be known as “America's 911.” Since the birth of 1775, Marines always separated themselves

The third incident took place in Washington in December 1943. Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall presented to the Joint Chiefs of Staff his concept of a reorganization proposal which became the foundation for several War Department-generated hearings. In this proposal there was no mention of the Marine Corps. Continued struggle for the right to belong resulted in General Order No. 5 of 20 November 1954 which stated:

Operation Niagara resupplied the marines as Khe Sanh via aerial means. Carrying out the operation wasn’t easy; the aircrafts of the operation fought through bad weather and heavy defenses by the NVA, so heavy that they “could no longer land on the airstrip” and had to “discharge their cargo in low-flying parachute drops” (Caputo). Though the operation had good intentions, a part of it showed how badly the morale of most US leaders became—on January 23, one of the resupply planes unloaded four large crates addressed to ‘Fifth Graves Registration Team, Khe Sanh’ and inside which were 4,000 pounds of body bags.

The Caribbean monk seal is a type of seal that went extinct and was last reported to be seen in the year of 1952, but they were endangered since 1700s. In this essay, I will go over about different reasons and causes for this animal to go extinct; including two reversed hypotheses. You will also learn about their previous habitats and ecosystems. Over all, humans made a great impact in the extinction of the Caribbean monk seals.

The Mediterranean monk seal is categorized as a critically endangered species on the IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, Red list and it is urgent needed for conservation measures. From 1986-1994, Mediterranean monk seal was classified as an endangered species. From 1996 onwards, it is classified as a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red list (Karamanlidis, A. & Dendrinos, P. 2015). It is also the most endangered pinniped(fin foot) species with approximately fewer than 400 as the population continues to decline(WWF,2016). The scientific name of this species is Monachus monachus (Hermann, 1779). Today, the native countries of Mediterranean monk seal are Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Mauritania, Portugal, Turkey and Western Sahara. The native fishing area of this seal is in Atlantic- eastern central, Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands, Madeira on the Atlantic shores of Northwest Africa, and black sea (WWF,2016). Figure 1 (Genevieve Johnson,2016) shows the areas where Mediterranean monk seals can usually be found nowadays.
