Description
Two different films. The first encompasses combat training. A XM70 rocket launcher is fired. CH34 and HR2S helicopters land, directed by USMC crew on the ground. Howitzers, jeeps, LVTP5s, M50 ONTOS, M48 tanks, and other equipment exit landing craft and make their way inland. Marines scale the barb-wired beach and fire anti-tank weapons and the M1919 machine gun.
The second footage includes an extensive Civil War reenactment.
