Posted @withregram • @thedirtylittlewars 28 years ago this week; 3rd Battalion 1st Marines participates in Special Purpose Marine Air/Ground Task Force Los Angeles for “Operation Peacekeeper.” President George H W Bush sends units of the US military into Los Angeles, California in the violent reaction to the acquittal of four police officers on trial for the excessive beating of Rodney King. Read “The Dirty Little Wars,” for one Marine rifleman’s account of the 1992 Los Angeles Riot. #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #marinecorps #marineinfantry #thunderingthird @marines @usmarinecorps @brahmathreeone @latimes @lapdhq #losangeles #losangelesriot #riot #justice #service #climeandplace #memoir #semperfidelis #combatveteran https://www.instagram.com/p/B_iIMa5n5yf/?igshid=12tum8syex13x

Posted @withrepost • @brahmathreeone The key feature of the JAVELIN is the use of fire-and-forget technology that allows the gunner to fire and immediately take cover. JAVELIN is designed to replace the DRAGON. 3/1 was presented with this award. It was a big deal back in the day to be the first unit in the Corps to have this weapon. Award sits in our Battalion CP. #weaponscompany #javelin #fireandforget #thunderingthird https://www.instagram.com/p/B5PEfTMHKiq/?igshid=s2a4zfbezbmf
