USMC Maritime Raid Force Security Element using Aimpoint Micro T-1's???

Staff Sgt. Jon Calaway, an explosive ordnance disposal technician with Combat Logistics Battalion 11, now part of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, begins to unload his weapon after shooting in the prone position during a live-fire exercise here Jan. 23. Personnel conducted a variety of different marksmanship drills to hone and maintain close range rifle skills. Calaway finished shooting a total of 15 rapid reaction shots in the standing, kneeling and prone positions. (Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Demetrius Morgan/RELEASED)
I'll leave discussions of MEU's being designed to serve as a big security element for SOCOM.

I won't touch for now how the Battalion of Marine Infantry is being seconded to a platoon of Force Recon on the MEU.

But I will look and marvel at a Marine using what looks like a Micro T-1 on his issued weapon.
