CONtinental United States.

Ok the answer to the last question was "Company M".

No winners so the prize rolls over.
Next question...

According to War Department doctrine what was the primary role of the Marine Corps in World War I?

bulldogg · December 16th, 2006

BUMP

1000 Milbucks for first correct answer.

Fox · December 16th, 2006

Uh...To kill the german soldiers?

bulldogg · December 16th, 2006

No.

Hint: The amphibious assault role is a development that came about in the last 60 years.

The Cooler King · December 16th, 2006

World War I would be the first time that a major Marine unit operated seperately from the Navy. They transformed from an anti-guerilla force used to fight in the Banana Wars to a large conventional force needed to fight the Central Powers. The Marines fielded two brigades, the 4th Brigade and the 5th Brigade, although the 5th arrived too late to see any combat. The 4th Brigade was assigned to the Army's 2nd Infantry Division and served with distinction until the armistice.

bulldogg · December 17th, 2006

Still not there yet. Primary role...

Fox · December 17th, 2006

To be on the frontline?

Need more hint, please.

bulldogg · December 17th, 2006

Nope, not the frontline.

If you visit the USMC Small Wars website and read a few of the linked doctoral theses there written by some Marine officers you'll find the surprising answer.

More hints and the prize drops to 500 milbucks.
