Solo un'incursione per un po' di folklore:
Petro, tira le orecchie alle tue fonti, perché lo Huey è UH-1 (Utility Helicopter) mentre il Cobra è AH-1 (Attack Helicopter). ;-)

Quel tuo esempio non c'entra nulla, perchè il catering è un azienda a se che vince gli appalti e bla bla bla. Cioè l'azienda di catering è indipendente al 100% rispetto alle persone che serve, gli MSPF no quindi non regge. E poi stiamo parlando di unità militari che ricevono ordini dalla stessa persona, per fare un'altro paragone, stavolta più consono, è come dire che i GIS non sono carabinieri perchè sono un unità a parte che non c'entra nulla con quelli che pattugliano le strade ogni giorno. Non fanno sempre parte dei carabinieri e rispondono al generale dell'arma?
Devi capire che un unità meu è un piccolo esercito e come tale ha tante unità al suo interno che sono a se stanti perchè possono avere compiti diversissimi tra loro ma sono sulla stessa barca (è proprio il caso di dirlo :D ). Per cui se la vedi a livello "microspopico" cioè alla base della catena militare un BLT non ha nulla a che fare con i MSPF e quindi se la vedi dal tuo punto di vista hai ragione, ma se la vedi al livello dei comandanti i BLT e i MSPF sono nello stesso contenitore e quindi sono entrambi MEU.
quindi non è una discussione senza fine, sono contento io perchè in parte ho ragione e 6 contento tu perchè in parte hai ragione ;)Quote:

A major multi-lateral exercise climaxed in East Timor yesterday (25 June 10) when a multinational force raided Manatuto Prison.
US Marines, Australian and New Zealand soldiers of the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) and the East Timor Defence Force (F-FDTL) concentrated on the prison in the country’s east for two raids that tested interoperability and operational planning.
The prison raids culminated with an assault by F-FDTL, ISF and US Marines, including air support from the USS Peleliu and the Timor Leste Aviation Group (TLAG).
More than 100 F-FDTL soldiers participated in the MARINE EXERCISE 10 (MAREX 10), also called EXERCISE CROCODILE.
The Exercise focused on professional development and arms corps advice to the F-FDTL. It also included community support activities such as engineering, medical and community relations programs.
The participating Marines landed from USS Peleliu and comprised the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit (15 MEU). 30th June 2010

BARNWELL, S.C. – Marines prepare to fast-rope onto a building as their hovering Navy MH-60S Seahawk Helicopter begins to inch closer to the rooftop.
The Marines launch their ropes and swiftly slide down onto the roof, which serves as the simulated deck of a ship. As soon as the team is on the deck, they quickly assemble and breach the building entrances where their enemy waits to resist.
Their objective: to take control of the simulated ship and capture or eliminate enemy threats within it.
This was the goal during a three-day Maritime Interception Operations exercise held at a training facility in Barnwell, S.C., June 22-24.
The exercise provided integrated and sustainment training in the areas of breaching, fast-roping, tight-quarters maneuvering, and ship control for the raid force. Marines with 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit worked in cooperation with Helicopter Sea Combat 22 sailors based out of Norfolk, Va., as well as civilian law enforcement and military training instructors. The training utilized buildings renovated to simulate naval vessels. Marine scout snipers also trained in aerial assault by shooting targets on a nearby range from UH-N1 Huey and Navy MH-60S Seahawk Helicopters.
Despite the fact that the training took place inside a building and not a ship, the tight spaces and low-light environment provided a realistic feel for the Marines, said Lance Cpl. Stephen McCormick, a radio operator with Battalion Landing Team 3/8, 26th MEU.
“This building with its very enclosed spaces provided for good ship training since ships have narrow passageways,” McCormick said. Ship passageways and spaces are extremely narrow and become more difficult for Marines to maneuver through when they are wearing combat gear. This training helped prepare the Marines to overcome these kinds of challenges.
Inside the building the Marines encountered role-players offering varying degrees of compliance, including simulated gunfire from hostile personnel. The force also had to compete with language barriers, had to check for identification of people inside, and negotiate the challenges that come with simulated improvised explosive devices, said Chad Harbaugh, president of Government Training Institute, the company facilitating the training during the exercise.
“This building offered us a ton of flexibility,” Harbaugh said. “Training inside the building is analogous to training in the belly of the ship.”
The exercise is an important part of preparing 26th MEU Marines for their upcoming deployment as the MEU has dealt with similar situations in the past. In January 2009, 26th MEU provided support to Combined Task Force 151, an international naval task force set up in response to piracy attacks off the coast of Somalia.
“What these abilities provide the MEU commander is the ability to train with multinational Maritime Interception Operation teams and conduct real-world missions on different platforms as piracy has become more prevalent in the past few years,” said Lt. j.g. Carrie L. Muller, lead planner for the training event.
The Maritime Interception Operations exercise was one of the last land-based training evolutions for the MEU prior to its deployment. Next for 26th MEU is Composite Training Unit Exercise, during which MEU Marines will project power ashore from Naval vessels. After that, the Marines' Certification Exercise will be the last training event for the Camp Lejeune-based 26th MEU before deployment.
