Keywords: monochrome Lot-9429-12: U.S. Marines – New Style Equipment But Same Style Fighting. Making landings on enemy shores has been the job of fighting U.S. Marines since 1775, but a modern day provides new style equipment, so they must get used to it. Here they are practicing a landing in the latest-type, American-made, rubber boats. Shown: With a small-hand pump, Marines aboard a U.S. troop transport inflate one of the rubber boats which they will use to go ashore on a practice raid.
