A common view among Marines of the nature of war is a necessary base for the development of a cohesive doctrine. This manual provides the authoritative basis for how Marines fight and how they prepare to fight. This manual is about military campaigning. A campaign is a series of related military actions undertaken over a period of time to achieve a specific objective within a given region. This manual sets forth information and guidance concerning the planning and execution of intelligence activities within the Marine Corps.
It addresses intelligence staff organizations, functions, and responsibilities, including the direction, collection, processing, and dissemination of intelligence. This manual sets forth the doctrine, tactics, and techniques to be employed in helicopterborne operations and training within the Fleet Marine Forces.
This manual also covers the organization and principles of employment of helicopter and helicopterborne units. This manual sets forth the doctrine, tactics, and techniques to be employed in engineer operations and training within the Fleet Marine Forces.
It covers the mission, organization, and principles of employment of engineer units in support of Fleet Marine Forces in amphibious operations and subsequent operations ashore. This manual sets forth doctrine, tactics, and techniques to be employed in operations and training involving aviation assault support within the Fleet Marine Force.
This manual also expands the doctrine, tactics, and techniques applicable to the employment of the assault transport function of Marine aviation contained in FMFM , Marine Aviation. This manual sets forth doctrine, tactics, and techniques for operations and training conducted by Marine rifle companies and platoons. Information includes amphibious operations, helicopter-borne operations, offensive combat, defensive combat, patrolling, auxiliary operations, and counterinsurgency operations.
The first is a simulated stress test, which is called time trials; they have to be able to do their techniques in proper form within a certain timeline. That timeline induces stress so we see how they work under stress.
The second thing they have to do is do the technique under a fatigued condition, so on the final day of testing they are doing aerobic and anaerobic exercise starting in the dark with full kit on for approximately four to six hours.
This is before they do their physical test on technique, so we know that their technique has been degraded through fatigue. The final phase is a teaching test and the teaching test is done to ensure that the system is taught the same way by all students. You may be able to get away with it in civilian life but in the military when you are training a lot of people you have to ensure that not only does your technique have to be standardised but also your method of training has to be standardised.
Q Do they have to requalify? Yes the qualification for a LINE instructor is two years in duration and to requalify they have to come back and requalify on the final days testing.
LINE I is the basis of the system and what everything really works off of. The first two techniques are controlling techniques. Unfortunately soldiers have certain situations where they have to control people vice killing them. So the first two techniques are defences against lapel grabs where they are using joint manipulation to control someone to put them in cuffing procedures. The next four techniques of LINE I are counter to the front choke, rear choke, front headlock, rear headlock are all lethal options so the counter ends in the death of the opponent.
Our belief is that with conventional war gear on the limbs get to you first and since the limbs get to you first and being the least protected of the persons body parts, we damage that first and use it as a control device. The whole thought process is to get the person on the ground and use your large muscle groups of your legs and the protected heel of your foot, protected through the rubber and leather of the boot and then step on the head and neck in a forceful manner and crush the skull.
So we stand them up with an eye gouge to get pressure off of your spine first and then we crush the trachea with a hand strike. Punches and kicks are from the intermediate range of close combat, so you have to close distance, we use the punch or the kick to close distance and get us back into the grappling range and then we use the same techniques from LINE I.
The whole thought process behind the LINE System is that you may have a different entry point but we do the same thing as much as possible because that gives us a greater amount of repetition and the more repetition you have the greater retention you are going to have of skills. Q So in LINE II when your enemy comes in to punch or kick you do you evade or stay on the confrontation line and cover and engage or some other option. When we talk about punches we are going to have three basic punches we are going to be dealing with.
The punches we are going to be dealing with are where someone is attacking at full force but the punches are always going to be arcing in their angle of attack. All of the looping punches since they are arcing; it is difficult to get to the outside of the joint where we would want to be, so you have to be inside. So, because we are in closer instead of kicking as we do in LINE I we use knee strikes in order to stun the person and get them on the ground and then we again crush their skull.
LINE Three is our ground fighting aspect and this is where we differ to most systems, the only goal to our ground fighting that we do is to stand back up.
We teach grappling techniques such as the basic arm bar, but not to cause submission. Our goal is to stand up, so you may try and disengage, but he is holding on with his hand and because that limb that he is holding on with is extended it may be broken. So we do damage to our opponents limb on the ground and we stand up and as our opponent is already on the ground, we crush his skull.
LINE IV is unarmed defence against edged or hand held weapons and the principle that we use is called immobilize and neutralize What that means is we neutralise the weapon system by stopping it first by immobilising it then we destroy that weapon system normally by destroying that hand that is holding it or the arm that is holding it, then we go back to the previous practises of getting them on the ground and stepping on their head.
Q So is that initial neutralising of the weapon hand or arm taught post evasion or from stationary? All of our techniques are taught static and then movement is added in once the student understands and is familiar with technique using crawl, walk, run methodology.
So we teach that first since that is the hardest thing then once they understand the concept of how they are going to immobilise the weapon then we allow them to use movement to move away from the path of the weapon because it does two things for us. Number one it dissipates the force but it also gives you more reaction time.
One of the principles that we teach is distance equals time and time equals safety and the further you are away from your opponent the more time you have to look at what he is doing the safer you are going to be.
LINE V is the use of the knife. We teach a lot different than most people, we use the ice pick grip or some people call it the reverse grip. The reason that we do is because we are training entry level people and we have found that when people are afraid or when they have to penetrate the largest amount of material with a knife they inherently grab it in the reverse grip.
It also allows them to hold onto the knife, especially in violent contact, a lot easier than in the hammer grip. By working outside those limits of acceptance two things happen. Number one, you are going to cause shock and hesitation to your opponent and number two, your limits of acceptance are broadened because you are used to this form of attack.
LINE VI is neutralisation of enemy personnel and what it is, is techniques to kill somebody unarmed or armed in as silent a way as possible. We understand there is no such thing as completely silent killing and Murphy tells us the person that we are trying to kill silently is going to scream like a banshee. We talk about cover, concealment, and stalking, but our most important thing about LINE VI is that it is the first time that you are teaching the soldier to kill someone that has no violent intent towards them.
That is what LINE VI is about, bringing about discussion about the fact that we are doing what is right and are on the moral high ground. Even though it might seem not the moral thing to do in reality it is something that has to be done and that is what your job is. Q If you had a global position of decision making for the military in close combat what would you like to change?
To become very skilled at this subject takes a long time and at entry-level training within the military you do not have a long time to train people. So you need something that is basically that coat of primer that protects them because they may go to combat well before they get follow on schooling in combatives or they get a lot of practise.
There are weapon retention techniques and there are both short and long gun disarming techniques. Toggle navigation 1PDF. Download PDF. MCO P Marines Close-quarter Combat Manual [U.
