100 combat Marines is a lot more than a trip wire.
And no mob will ever breach their perimeter.
Whomever tries better bring a lunch.
What is the size of the perimeter around the US Embassy? I ask as size, # of enemy plus, type of support ( arty, tac air, reinforcements, etc.) determine # of troops needed. I would use SF and Kurds. 5-6 SF types trained in UW can control over 100 INDIG in combat. Yes, US Marines do have embassy duty. Iraqi’s fear Kurds
I’m thinking Some A-10’s making a couple of passes along the outer walls would do nicely....
