Marine Combat Hunter Program

[nichols]

Thanks Nichols- what are your thoughts on the aspects of profiling and tracking, and of every Marine being issued a pair of binos?

I spent $460 on a pair of Steiners back in 87 as a Sergeant.....that should pretty much tell you howI feel about every Marine being issued a pair of binos.

There are aspects of the profiling that Combat Hunter doesn't cover that I would like to see in the program. The profiling and tracking covers badguys in the immediate vicinity and is human centric. I would like to see something along the lines of 'terrain profiling.' This stand off capability tied in with a good pair of binos (bino use training is critical) will allow the Marine to get instead the badguys OODA-Loop before the badguy realizes that his OODA has been compromised.
