I was a grunt, therefore I constantly trained in Marine Infantry Tactics. How to aggressively assault the enemy in Platoon, Squad and Fire team formations. When to assault in a Wedge, when to traverse in a Skirmish formation. Constant training, in the Marines we know that you're only as good as your training. We often trained at the NTA.
