Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Marine Corps Competitive Marksmanship This history is dedicated to those Marines who played a dramatic role in the colorful early chapter in the history of Marine Corps marksmanship. The triumphs and the defeats at Camp Perry, Wakefield, and Sea Girt played a fundamental part in the training and molding of combat Marines. The firing lines of these famous ranges produced shooters and techniques that augured well the successful battles of France, Nicaragua, Haiti, the Pacific Isles and Korea. As Marines representing the Corps in competitive shooting contributed to our battlefield success in the past so newshooters will in the future. In the final analysis it is the individual who will close with the enemy and destroy him. It is here that the word Distinguished is realized in its most honored sense.
