Versatility is a virtue in the Corps. Up
for anything, the Marines, famously known as USA's "911 Force," can

PART TWO:
AGGRESSORS
Extracting the fallen Air Force Captain

Exercise (MEUEX) gives us a chance to join the Amphibious Assault
Vehicle crew -- who make up an integral part of our team. They man
and maintain the incredible and intimidating AAVs, making sure we
get to our objective as planned.
