8 Role of the Marine Rifleman All Marines share a common warfighting belief. The essence of this belief is captured by a simpleyet powerful credo: Every Marine a rifleman. In other words, every Marine , regardless ofspecialty, has a fundamental purpose. All Marines are forged from a common experience, sharea common set of values, and are trained as members of an expeditionary force in readiness. Thereare no rear area Marines. The range, mobility, and lethality of modern weapons ensure that noone is too far from potentially life threatening situations when Marines respond to a crisis.

9 TheMarine rifleman of the next conflict will be, as in the past, among the first to confront the enemyand last to hang his weapon on the rack after hostilities cease. To be successful, Marine Corps forces must control the battlespace. In most cases, this involvescontrol of the ground. This cannot be done without the rifleman who seizes terrain from theenemy by fire and maneuver during offensive operations. In defensive operations, the rifleman sability to occupy and control terrain is also very dependent upon his skill in delivering accuratefires that repel enemy assaults.

10 Therefore, Marksmanship proficiency is an essential key tomilitary effectiveness in ground combat operations. Armed conflicts will continue to be fought invarious parts of the world, from urban to jungle to desert environments. It can be assumed thatthe Marine Corps will be involved in these conflicts whenever national interests are role of the Marine rifleman is to assist his unit in accomplishing its mission. The Rifle is theprimary means by which Marines do this. The range of military operations stretches from war to military operations other than within the range of military operations can take a wide range of forms reflecting thedegree of violence involved.
