So 11th Regt Marine Arty is likely to be firing jn support of 75th Regt Rangers. First, I do not like this. Syria is a hexagon of sides shooting at each other. Second, if we are going to do this would it not make sense to utilise the Marine Raider Regt with the Marine Arty rather than employ separate organization and TOEs.
I believe the Kurds will assault Raqqa, not the Rangers. The number of Rangers is not that large. The Marines role is much like what they previously performed in Mosul with in direct fire, which is now pretty darn direct.
“to utilise the Marine Raider Regt..”
This is the 2nd reference I’ve seen to Marine Raiders. Has the Corps resurrected the Raider battalions or is the designation in error?
