27th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Razor)

Recommended Posts

I´ve been doing some research on the MEU since details of the Razor team have been released.

The carrier where the player starts from (Rus. prev: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRhhG_IS5k0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.litos-hq.com%2Fblog1.php%2F2009%2F05%2F14%2Ftranslation-of-a-russian-arma2-preview&feature=player_embedded) is a type USS-Wasp.

It is an amphibious assault ship and used as quick response force. It is the homebase of the MEU and so it is for the Razorteam (27th MEU).

Aircrafts which are normally stationed on it are: AH-1W, AV-8. UH-1N, CH-53, CH-46 (and MV-22). The ship also carries; M-1s, 5t-Trucks, HMMWVs, LAVs, Howitzers and more.

Some sound familiar? Yeah, BIS is doing a great job making the plot as realistic as possible by implementing the equipment and vehicles the real army would have. I didn´t realize the detail they put into the game until I read through the characterisitcs of the Razor team. I´m really looking forward to playing the campaign and I think it will be as great as the good old Cold-War-Crisis. The two reasons why I started this topic are:

1. shorten the time of waiting until release *g*

2. wanted to show you this documentary: (very interesting documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d5hjBU0JgQ&feature=PlayList&p=385199D78117EE1A&index=0 and ask if you have more info on the MEU. (Btw: is there some confirmed statement that the ship is able to transport vehicles inside?)

Thanks for the detailed info on the Marine Expeditionary Unit. Just a few things here are incorrect. 1)The US Marine & US Army ["]Yeah, BIS is doing a great job making the plot as realistic as possible by implementing the equipment and vehicles the real army would have["] are deferent in there rolls in warfare. For Marines are not soldiers. There Marines. I understand that a lot of nations do not have Marine. And think of them as the same. This is a mistake. One is land infantry (Army). The other is sea infantry (Marines). 2) The M1A1/2 is not carried on the Wasp-Class LHD. They are transported on the San Antonio-Class LPD. But I really like the video like you provided. It is a treat for me. Other than that dear sir. Good job. Look forward to seeing you on the field.
