BlackFive: “I would much rather our official policy regarding pirates was “if you see ‘em, shoot ‘em”
Great story about the US Marines Anti-Pirate force taking back a pirated ship:
Marine Corps Captain Alexander Martin, a member of the Maritime Raid Force writes that the joint Navy-Marine Corps unit “conducts visit-board-search-seizure (VBSS), kinetic strikes on non-compliant targets, maritime infrastructure seizure and reinforcement, host-nation training, and other maritime raid and interdiction operations as directed.”
“Its execution packages come complete with supporting air, medical and trauma units, sniper teams, shadowing ships, Navy VBSS and ship-control teams, small-boat units, and a direct-action assault unit with an integrated infantry trailer platoon for support,” writes Martin.
