To the people here commenting asking what this has to do with warfare. What does this have to do with warfare? not a damn thing. If youre looking for a video with Marines showing off what they can do in warfare theres plenty of moto vids on youtube with just that kind of thing. This is the Silent Drill team showing off some exhibition style close order drill. Theyre showing off precision and discipline which are two other traits the Marine Corps likes to pride itself on. Theyre used mostly for recruiting purposes and ceremonies, but the shit aint easy, so kudos to them. To the people questioning it it, I ask you all: Who the hell are you to question the way the United States Marine Corps conducts its business?.. Just pay your taxes and be happy theres no draft.. it always amazes me that people who have no experience with the military always have the biggest voices about how to make it better.
arceyominyin from what I see they stating that if a enemy of the US forces us to fight we will kick your ass just as methodical as we do this. In the marines you are not a soldier you are one of the few the proud your are a marine.
No fluffy hats or unnecessary arm swings, just a tight uniform with a smooth finish. It doesn't matter what these amphibious infantrymen do, they're a lethal force when active in a hostile environment.
And they always look good and that can be hard work starting with Boot Camp. My platoon in Boot Camp always looked good and took 1st place in everything. Plt 1041 San Diego MCRD. Graduated 16 July 1976. Semper Fi and HAPPY NEW YEAR,
and it always brings a tear to my eye to watch my silent drill team.. US Marines.. always the first to land... and the last to leave.. signed..Emmett.. U.S.M.C.
As a former U.S. Marine (1977-1981) this makes me so proud to watch. USMC drill teams are so much more impressive than those of any other branch of the military. Not meant to offend anyone. Semper Fi
No offence taken! (Retired Army here) Although I've seen some impressive drills during change of command ceremonies in Germany done by the Army drill teams the USMC has alway impressed me! Hoo Wah
The Silent Drill Platoon first performed in 1948, originally as a one-time show, and received such an overwhelming response that it soon became part of the routine parades at Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C.
We are all in this together, there are different services and different missions, bottom line is WE ALL provide the blanket of comfort that makes living in America great. Keep up the good work Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard!
I am from the bahamas and i am in law enforcement so i have been on the drill square before so I know about the practice that goes into this... But omg there is no team in the world that can test these guys they are friggin awesome... I salute u marines!!
I always love watching the USMC Silent drill, even as a squaddie I can appreciate the precision and movements that go into US Marine drill movements. The one thing this "silent" drill could do without is the typical sporting-event announcer screaming "The precision...the discipline uunnngghhh marines guh guh guh" and the "whoooo" from the girl next to the camera!
I love how they taught the crowd how to respect them. Different crowd at the end than at the beginning. Imagine the respect they'd learn if they saw how they fight to protect their right to have bad manners!
As a Brit my total respect for USA and their military - their discipline and precision training is amazing - thank god the most powerful country in the world is also a voice for freedom - - we have so much in common - - - god bless USA -
When I think how blessed I was to have had the honor and privilege to serve as one of The Few, The Proud, The #Marines makes my heart pound in my chest even to this day. SEMPER FIDELIS!
Just love the snappy "Inspection Arms" routine.The Garand M-1 is a great rifle for this drill. Besides the M-1, we used the 1903 Sprigfield as well (US Army).
I have seen the USMC Silent Drill Team at numerous events and live performances especially at 8th and I in Washington D.C. They are impressive to watch.
Have people stopped hating on the video recording over the years? Sure hope so. This obviously was an impromptu recording on a cell phone in awkward conditions. I only wish the very end was not cut off, actually. Thanks, and Semper Fi
Just saw USMC Silent Platoon on 11-16-2014 at the Carolina Panthers Football halftime show and they were great. The Panthers had its home game celebration for Veterans
The very next day. Marines saw a huge elistment boost. I mean that as a total compliment. These marines on this video show it. I was in the Army till 08. And jumped out of planes. And I would trade all that to be the the guys in this video. Thats what sets Army from Marines. Discipline pride and tradition. Much respect usmc
Joe Rooney I thank you for your service in the army. All branches of the military are needed and we should all be proud and thankful for all who serve, regardless of which branch.
Guys its for show, it's not used in combat so stop being confused individuals. Shyflirt1, it's a waste of taxpayers money? Maybe, but it helps connect the military with the civilian world. You're more of a waste of tax payers dollars honestly.
As someone who served in the USMC. I first saw the Marine Corps Drill Team in Quantico VA in 95. 400 of them came out and did what they did. Only one of them dropped their rifle but you weren't aware of it until they left the field. It was impressive. My only advice is please, please change up the choreography. This has been the same routine for the last 20 years, maybe even longer.
Does anybody else find it disturbing that people in the audience just keep on flapping their gums while these guys perform? Would anyone act that way say, at a Broadway play or with a live singer? Such disrespect...
I completely agree! My husband served for 10 years and I find it highly disrespectful and rude that the women in the background would not be quiet. I am sure that there were others in the crowd that were talking as well, but the "ladies" rudeness just stood out.
this is what it means to be a Marine honor speed of core pride and a brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, anywhere anytime Semper Fidelis,.. always faithful..
Thanks to the NBA for Allowing our USMC in the half time period. Thanks for supporting our Arms Forces who fighting around the world against the bad looney ticks ISIS. Also thanks the audience for showing support the our brave USMC. May God Bless tis young MEN.
I saw this in Hamilton, Ontario a few years ago, and without a doubt this display is one of the most impressive demonstrations I have ever witnessed. But in Hamilton it was much better....why you ask? Because the audience didn't talk or whistle or WOO WOO during it. They watched in SILENT awe until it was over, then applauded.
did my time in the early 60's. these guys are so damn good. lance corporal n corporals all. did my time on the drill field, learned how to do the marching stuff and 'arms movements', but nothing like these guys. silent, come on. I had a DI yelling in my face. learned to anticipate his commands, but, he had to 'command'. semper fi, these young marines are the best of the best.
Brit here. Can someone explain the significance of silent drill? The discipline of these marines is extremely impressive but I'm stumped as to why it's necessary not to make any noise and not have an instructor call out commands. Almost all other examples of military drills that I've seen have involved a lot of heel stamping and have involved commands of some sort. Thanks in advance!
These are acutal active duty Marines. They serve in the Silent Drill Platoon as a regular assignment. Once their tour is finished, many of them will go on to other active duty assignments, including combat where ever they are needed. SEMPER FI!
The original purpose of close order drill is to get a group of soldiers on foot from one place to another at close quarters the most efficient way possible, like walking in step; and the safest way possible, like handling large weapons while marching long distances as a group. Everyone had to shift weapons to the other shoulder at the same time to keep from hitting each other. That's the theory as i see it. The SD Platoon has simply taken it to the level of an art form.

This makes me miss being on the drill team in MCJROTC more than ever! Best 4 years of my life. Semper Fi Do or Die.. OORAH!
You plan on joining the marines after high school?
Semper fi do or die gung ho gung ho gung ho!
Oorah!!
(Future freshmen MCJROTC cadet and Marine here!)
"future mcjrotc cadet" laughing my fucking ass off LOL
+Jordan Clawson I was laughing too...
I love how they taught the crowd how to respect them. Different crowd at the end than at the beginning. Imagine the respect they'd learn if they saw how they fight to protect their right to have bad manners!
Yes. They defend against foreign and domestic. Got to let people know they don't mess around because they won't find out .....
💯
Semper Fi, brothers. 1st Bn. 26th Marines, Vietnam '68-'69
Thank You for your service! Our family is very grateful to our veterans!
Total respect to these young men. Thank you for your service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This was originally posted several years ago. We found it so motivating that we thought it worthy of another look! Well done, Marines!
A marine needs to be this comfortable with his/her own rifle.
As a Brit my total respect for USA and their military - their discipline and precision training is amazing - thank god the most powerful country in the world is also a voice for freedom - - we have so much in common - - - god bless USA -
Woooooowww. They are so amazing to watch. I'm not American, but I salute the USMC. The Few The Proud.
When I think how blessed I was to have had the honor and privilege to serve as one of The Few, The Proud, The #Marines makes my heart pound in my chest even to this day. SEMPER FIDELIS!
Billy Inn Semper Fi, Billy. Make us all proud, and dedicate yourself to KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES!
I enlisted a couple days ago :)
Mario Burnham Way to go

Wow!!! Semper Fi. I was in the Marines in the late 80s to early 90s and never saw the silent drill team. Excellent!! Thanks for posting.
i just love how they all move as a complete machine in uni cine. Its just fascinating.
Close order formations USED to be valid combat tactics. But advances in weapons made them obsolete over 200 years ago.
K
Really good footage! Thank you for sharing that with all of us!!
Leaving for for Marine OCS in 9 days! This pumps me up! Oorah!
I Hope I Become A Marine Some Day! JROTC For Now..
Same here. Private first class nelson
Same, I'm also in JROTC

Did they throw your punk ass out the plane ?

Thank you Sir! 24 hours left and it's GO time. Wish me luck!
Man that shit is hard mentally. I'd be so scared and nervous I'd make so many mistakes lol

happy i can finally do that behind the back toss, it looks so awsome and its fun to do.
Few things bring me chills, but this did. Awesome

+EMMETT ROWE I think you mean "esprit de corps"
That is correct
So the only branch with a biblical word in our motto.." faithful "
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TIME THEY PUT IN FOR THIS. OUR BOYS ARE AWESOME.
Thanks to the NBA for Allowing our USMC in the half time period. Thanks for supporting our Arms Forces who fighting around the world against the bad looney ticks ISIS. Also thanks the audience for showing support the our brave USMC. May God Bless tis young MEN.
Awesome skill! This is really mesmerising to watch.

They are awesome. Some of the stuff they do people couldn't dream about doing
not many people have seen this before and I'm sure they are very proud of the Marines.
Their bearing and precision are impeccable. I hope to be good enough to join one some day.
not part of the United States, but confidence is a giant key in achieving success in these kind of works, and my god, they are impressive.
REAL HEROES!!
SO BEAUTIFUL
Lots of practice went into that and its just fantastic
THERE IS SOOOO MUCH PERFECTION :') beautiful
A very illuminating performance!
Amazing, thanks.
Utterly fantastic.

Imagine how much even more badass it would have been to do the flips and catches with the bayonet attached.

When I was in highschool I was on a drill team, we didn't even come close to these guys.
Semper Fi lost a good friend in conflict but he was proud he was a marine
Makes you proud to be an American! God Bless!
Wow they’re like in sync robotic toy soldiers it’s amazing
Marines are the best!
That is so amazing I love it
Fantastic!!!
So sweet!!!! Glad I'm a part of the Marine Corps!
and that can never be removed from me because it is a part of my DNA
That's the whole point of silence. Shut up. No disrespect.
@Gymini25 - Yeah.. Very annoying!
Amazing show though!
I love the marines.
/Best regards from Sweden!
Salute, it takes SO much training drills to pull this off.
Master stroke performance! Gotta love the Marines!
Semper fi love u marines thank u 4 servin

So Impressive!!!
It takes many hours of practice to be as good as what you just saw in this video.
These men were VERY good.
To be in such a group requires the utmost lvl of discipline, skill, and hard work I.M.O
pure awesomeness.
Announcer actually said esprit-de-CORPSE...
