The Marine Corps introduces Americans to the tools of our trade at parades, expositions and other community events.

At each static display, Marines will explain the capabilities of the displayed equipment, such as machine guns, anti-tank missiles, artillery, night-vision optics, armored vehicles, amphibious vehicles, communications equipment and many other items during community activities.
