[FBIS TRANSLATED TEXT]
VARIOUS TYPES OF JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES ARE BEING CONSTANTLY STAGED BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOUTH KOREAN PUPPETS AND BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN. THE US MARINE CORPS HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THESE PROVOCATIVE JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES. THE US MARINE CORPS IS A SPECIAL TYPE OF MILITARY SERVICE BRANCH THAT CANNOT BE SEEN IN MILITARY ORGANIZATION SYSTEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THE US MARINE CORPS IS A SPECIAL SERVICE BRANCH THAT EXISTS TOGETHER WITH THE US ARMY, NAVY, AND AIR FORCE. THE BASIC MISSION OF THE US MARINE CORPS IS TO PERFORM THE ROLE OF SCOUTS WHEN THE US IMPERIALISTS INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES. THE US MARINE CORPS, WHICH PUTS FORWARD "SEMPER FIDELIS" AS ITS SLOGAN, IS A SHOCK TROOP THAT RUSHES OVERSEAS "ON EMERGENCY" BEFORE ANY OTHERS AND CARRIES OUT THE MISSION OF "ASSAULT." BESIDES, WHILE PERFORMING THE DUTY OF "GUARDING" US EMBASSIES OVERSEAS, THE US MARINE CORPS IS ALSO MOBILIZED FOR ESPIONAGE, INTRIGUE, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION, THE US MARINE CORPS PERFORMS THE WORK OF CONTROLLING AND SUPERVISING THE MOVEMENT AND DISCIPLINE OF THE NAVY. AT AN EARLY STAGE, THE US MARINE CORPS WAS MERELY A "LAND COMBAT FORCE" THAT ACTED TOGETHER WITH THE NAVY. FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF'THE BILL ON FOUNDING MARINE CORPS" BY THE US CONGRESS ON I 1 JULY 1798, THE US MARINE CORPS WAS FOUNDED. WHEN THE US MARINE CORPS WAS ORGANIZED, IT WAS A FORCE BENEATH NOTICE. HOWEVER, THE US MARINE CORPS GAINED NOTORIETY BY PARTICIPATING IN THE MEXICAN WAR, THE US CIVIL WAR, AND THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. AFTER THE END OF THE WORLD WAR 11, THE US MARINE CORPS BECAME NOTORIOUS AS THE SCOUTS IN INVADING SOCIALIST COUNTRIES AND SMALL AND WEAK NATIONS. THE FORCE, WHICH FULLY EXPOSED THEIR AGGRESSIVE AND BELLICOSE NATURE IN INCH'ON, PUSAN, AND OTHER AREAS AS THE MAIN FORCE OF THE US IMPERIALIST AGGRESSOR FORCES DURING THE PAST KOREAN WAR, AND THE FORCE THAT GAINED NOTORIETY AT THE VAN OF THE OPERATION TO CRUSH GRENADA, A SMALL ISLAND STATE, WAS NONE OTHER THAN THE US MARINE CORPS. THE ORGANIZATION OF ARMED FORCES OF THE US MARINE CORPS IS ALSO
PECULIAR. ALTHOUGH IT BELONGS TO THE US ARMED FORCES, THE US MARINE CORPS POSSESSES VARIOUS KINDS OF ITS OWN GUNS AND TANKS, AS WELL AS POWERFUL AVIATION UNITS. THE US MARINE CORPS IS COMPOSED OF THREE MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCES (MEFS). THE FIRST AND SECOND MEFS ARE DEPLOYED IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, WHILE THE THIRD MEF IS IN OKINAWA, JAPAN. THE THIRD MEF HAS BEEN MOBILIZED IN JOINT MILITARY EXERCISES STAGED IN SOUTH KOREA AND THE LIKE, EXPOSING ITS DEVILISH NATURE AS THE SCOUTS OF AGGRESSION.
