Marine Expeditionary Unit

edit

It looks like this article has heavily borrowed from this page.

TRAP deserves it's own page

edit

USMC Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel ought to have it's own page and not a redirect here. With a good deal of history (Operation Eagle Claw, Scott O'Grady, and recently Operation Odyssey Dawn rescue of F-15E pilot at a minimum there's plenty of subject matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.116.149.9 (talk) 02:32, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Incosistencies with Army comparisons

edit

The US Army's current modular force combines artillery with armor and infantry in one brigade combat team commanded by a colonel. This is counter to the claim, "...ground combat element combines artillery and light armor at a much lower level than is common in the U.S. Army." The designation MEU and BCT are different, but both are commanded by a colonel, hence the point that "...a level much lower than is common in the U.S. Army" needs clarification.

Also, combat aviation in the U.S. Army resides at division level, under a major general, not theater. Theater would be Corps or higher. ----AGB, SFC, USA

Merger proposal

edit

I have proposed that we merge the List of Marine Expeditionary Units into a subheader of Marine Expeditionary Unit. The list is so short that it isn't a strong standalone list. However, it would add to the MEU article by adding a bit more depth, as well as some color. bahamut0013 22:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Do it when able.--23:23, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Marine Expeditionary UnitMarine expeditionary unit – Please change the name of the article to "Marine expeditionary unit" (not capitalized as the generic term is not a proper name). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:CAPS#Military_terms: "[T]he words for types of military unit (army, navy, fleet, company, etc.) do not require capitalization if they do not appear in a proper name." This is a simple move and should not be controversial, as it clearly complies with Wikipedia and universal standards of capitalization; therefore, I tried to be bold and make the move without discussion, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Movenotice. However, I got an error message saying that a page by the new name already existed, which is not true. A secondary consideration is whether the first word should be capitalized when the name of the page appears in the middle of a sentence. Universal standards of capitalization for English and Wikipedia standards direct that "marine" not be capitalized, even though U. S. Marine Corps-specific (as well with other services, like the Navy) style guidelines call for capitalizing "marine" always. Thank you. Holy (talk) 06:59, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Too complicated.

I suggest some smart person, not me, edit this article for your little middle-school sister or brother to read. GeorgeLouis (talk) 03:48, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
