US Marines Pack
---------------

The role of the United States Marines has changed immeasurably since it began.  Never 
before have Marines faced challenges like today.  The scope, frequency and speed of 
today's missions are unlike anything that has been done in the past. On any given day 
173,000 Marines are deployed away from their home bases.  Since the end of the Persian 
Gulf Crisis (in 1991) through 1998, the Marines were "sent-in" over fifty times. On 
average, the Marine Corps is called upon once every five weeks.

Four separate Marine Expeditionary Units (Special Operations Capable) deploy for six 
months, each having an average strength of 2,200 Marines and Sailors.  Consisting of 
three to five amphibious assault ships, they move freely across the high seas without 
clearances or other diplomatic restraints.  They represent the United States most 
flexible means of exerting force abroad.
 
This set of four models is designed to replace all your CT models with US Marines in the 
new desert camo (for those who don't keep up with military fashion, "chocolate chip" has 
been out for a while...).

A reskined world model of the defuse kit matching the one used on these models is also 
included.

If you can't figure out where the inspiration for this set came from, I guess you've been 
hiding in a cave for the last 6 months (and that cave sure isn't in Afghanistan!)... 

Original GIGN, GSG-9 and Arctic models and skins by the CS team.
Original hands and head models by Anderin.
Original head skin by Anderin, Senor and Spastic Child
Original hands skin by Anderin and Nicholades
Original boonie hat model by CJK

The models are reusing parts from several of my previous sets (Militia, FBI/NYPD and Army SF). The helmet and boonie hat skins are new while the other skins were retouched and rearanged to match the USMC (desert) theme. Thanks once again to Dame Puce for her help.
