The big boys are going in! Our neighbor is a Marine and he just left Pensacola for NOLA today. He said, "It must be bad if they called us... we are only trained to hunt and then take the appropriate action necessary.... We are not not trained for crowd control and don't do rescue missions." He also mentioned that they were suited up with rifles and night vision goggles.

"Base defense" or "convoy defense".

Remember, the Marines' definition of self-defense is, um, different. :)

Are they going to be "hunting" four-legged or two-legged gators?
