He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
You are the BEST, bar none.
Good Golly!
You scared me near to death.

The latter protects the former!

This is an oldy but something a lot of folks aren’t familiar with.
The MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7jiGPqDgDQ
Some folks, when they hear about a MEU, they assume it’s a special unit. It’s not.
A MEU is made up of an infantry battalion supported by both fixed and rotor wing air assets, some artillery, armor, transport, engineer and field service support elements. Some MEU are also spec ops attached.
These units are pulled from within the Corps and assigned to the MEU. Trained up in what’s called a “spin up” then put aboard ships and go on “float” for approx 6 months. Then they’re released back to their normal commands and other units take their places.
MEUs are not just emergency 911 forces or Show of Force elements. They also do training ashore visits in other countries and while there meet and greet the local movers and shakers, stress test the local transport infrastructure by actually using it, instead of just eyeball evaluating it like State or CIA/DIA would do, do beach assessments for landing suitability where appropriate, assess local forces capabilities, etc so on and so forth.
the “Big Book of MEU” which is where all this info from all the MEU commanders, senior NCOs and command staff is collected over the decades is a great intel asset.
Expeditionary guys?
all marines are expeditionary forces
salute!
