0311 Rifleman

There is no job more versatile, more deadly, or more important on the battlefield than the Marine Rifleman. They are not only experts in small arms weapons and tactics, but also ambassadors and humanitarians. The rifleman is the heart of the Marine mission: To locate, close with, and destroy the enemy, by fire and maneuver, or repel the enemy assault by fire and close combat. Armed with the M4 Carbine or the M27 IAR, the 13-man Rifle Squad are the scouts, assault troops, and close combat forces of the Marine combat unit, and the foundation of the mission of the Marine Corps. They are not only door kickers, however, as they are also sometimes the first Americans some foreign civilians ever see, and are just as able to hand out food packs as they are to send rounds downrange.
