to Rifle Marksmanship All Marines share a common warfighting belief: Every Marine a rifleman. This simple credo reinforces the belief that all Marines are forged from a common experience, share a common set of values, and are trained as members of an expeditionary force in readiness. Therefore, there are no "rear area" Marines, and no one is very far from the fighting during expeditionary operations. As in the past, the Marine rifleman will be among the first to confront the enemy and the last to hang his weapon in the rack after the conflict is won. Marine Corps forces are employed across the entire range of military operations. Those operations include war (characterized by large-scale, sustained combat operations) and other military operations that focus on deterring aggression, resolving conflict, promoting peace, and supporting civil authorities.
