“Dozens of Marines will raid buildings and shoot paintballs from modified M-15s”

I can’t imagine any good reason for such training.

What is an M-15? You've heard of an M-14? This is one better. Shoots through schools.

Sounds like another “shores of Tripoli” Expedition. Go USMC!

They have built entire fake towns at Pendleton for just such purpose. Why put civilians at risk?

That is why. There is no good reason for this, given the current CiC.

Aren't Marines who trained at Camp Pendleton referred to as “Hollywood Marines”?

The Marines are sent to a major US city.
First its a training excercise. Next time it’ll be the real deal.
Lets get prepared now. Lets all turn in our guns BEFORE we’re ordered to.

Perhaps this is a warning to illegals and criminals in LA.Or a warning to any member of the LAPD who might resist a young punk's efforts to take his service revolver from him.

This is nothing new.
Marines have been doing this for about two decades. They use large cities to test their ability to operate in large metro areas, something that a "combat town" can't duplicate. It also exposes Marines to an unfamiliar environment where they have to adapt to. One of the major skill sets developed is urban reconnaissance, and mission planning for heavily populated areas. This training was crucial to how we operated in Fallujah.
