In Response To: Re: In Amber Clad loadout discussion (dude1) : plus, one has to consider how many craft were in the area. with what, seventy
: the thing is, ships in the future shouldn't require much crew: maybe six
: --dude1 In the Marine Corps and Navy, there is always someone monitoring every important system or area. This includes but is not limited to engineering, command, communications, weapons, barracks/berthing area, and some other things that I cannot think of. Not to mention that there would be at least one fireteam (4) of armed Marines roaming the ship checking all these vital areas and especially the armory, ensuring the watches are awake and doing their job and attempting to catch anyone trying to break into areas they're not supposed to be. As far as compliment, it sounds on the money but I wouldn't count out Longswords, as they would be the escort element. Flights can also number as low as and are typically 2. A Battalion of Infantry, to include 3 line companies(riflemen) and 1 weapons company(mortars, machinegunners, demo and anti-armor[gauss cannon warthogs and rocket launchers]). Not only would you have to have this battalion but you would need the personnel to support it, which would include another 20 or so Marines, and the rest of the support would come from the Navy personnel. I am a Marine, so I know that you can cram all that stuff inside the ship even as "small" as it looks. The effeciency of packing and cramming and stuffing equipment and personnel has become an art and I'm sure it's been perfected even by the Marines of that time. Cpl Huddleston USMC Iraq | |
