In military terminology, an "amphibious assault" refers specifically to the movement of troops from a water-borne transport onto land. Historically, this has exclusively meant the use of small boats and similar craft to move troops and equipment from large vessels onto a beach (or, rarely, a prepared dock such as at a port), which may or may not be actively defended.

In modern times, it often includes some component of helicopter-borne troop movements. Thus, a modern amphibious assault generally consists of small units of troops being ferried ashore in special-purpose assault watercraft or hovercraft in combination with some troops being landed immediately behind the beaches by helicopters or parachute. The key portion of amphibious assault is the "over-the-beach" portion, where the vast majority of the fighting force comes ashore. If the attack primarily relies on other methods of transporting troops to the combat zone, then it is called some other form of "assault" (e.g. airborne assault, airmobile assault, etc.)

This question is written in the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. It's a code used by the military to relay coordinates over radio. Because letters could become garbled by static, the individual letters are turned into distinctive words.

The key to cracking this "code" is to take the first letter of each word, string the letters along, and add spaces. This phrase specifically says: "If you can understand this copy and p..." This phrase appeared on Facebook and LiveJournal in early January 2010. People were to copy and paste the entire sentence into their LJ or Facebook status to bewilder their friends.

The question - due to constraints on the 200 characters that you can use in a question on this site - should read as the following:

India Foxtrot Yankee Oscar Uniform Charlie Alpha November Uniform November Delta Echo Romeo Sierra Tango Alpha November Delta Tango Hotel India Sierra, Charlie Oscar Papa Yankee Alpha November Delta Papa Alpha Sierra Tango Echo Tango Oscar Yankee Oscar Uniform Romeo Sierra Tango Alpha Tango Uniform Sierra

Taking the first letter of each of the words above, the sentence translates into this: "IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS, COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR STATUS."

The accountability of Marines is very important. Being "America's 911 Force" means the USMC must always be ready to go to war. This means every unit must be ready to go to war. Every Marine plays a role in their unit. Thus, if a Marine is unaccounted for, he/she could be in jail, UA, injured, or possibly even dead. Any of these situations hurt the readiness of the unit, which in turn hurts the readiness of the Corps.

Other reasons include: the training, time, and money invested in each Marine, so losing them for any reason is a tremendous waste. Plus, Marines just plain take care of each other, making sure their friends and brothers-in-arms are safe and sound.

There are actually seven different types of discharge characterization:

Uncharacterized - For entry level separations where the member has served less than 180 days when notifed of administrative separation. This can be recieved for a variety of different reasons. With respect to non-service related matters such as VA benefits, civilian employment etc, shall be considered as the equivilent of an Honorable or General (Under Honorable Conditions)

Honorable - an Honorable discharge is warranted when the quality of a member's service has met the standards of accepted conduct and performance of duty for military personnel.

General under honorable conditions - is appropriate if the member's service has been honest and faithful, but significant negative aspects of the member's conduct or performance outweighs positive aspects of the member's military record.

Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (OTH) - is warranted when a member engages in conduct involving one or more acts or omissions that constitute a significant departure from the conduct expected of members of the armed forces.

Bad Conduct - Is assigned as part of the sentence at Special or General court-martial.

Dishonorable - The least favorable characterization. Recieved as part of the sentence at General court-martial.

Dismissal - Equivilent to a Dishonorable, but reserved for commissioned officers. Recieved as part of the sentence at General court-martial.

RIF is short for Reduction in Force. When the military, Air Force or Army, decides they have too many people for the current defense requirements, they reduce the forces by offering early discharges or retirements. This usually occurs after a war has ended. There was a RIF after the end of the Viet Nam War.

The bursting radius is the distance from a device that may cause wounds. The lethal radius is the distance that will cause death to 50% of persons exposed. A White Phosphorus hand grenade has a bursting radius of about 35 meters- it will not kill 50% of all persons within 35 meters. The 40mm HE grenade launcher projectile has a 5 meter lethal radius- it will kill 50% of the people that are within 5 meters when it detonates.
