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.
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!
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!!
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.
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,
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
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!
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!
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!
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 -
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.
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.
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..
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
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 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 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.
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.

Yes. They defend against foreign and domestic. Got to let people know they don't mess around because they won't find out .....

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!
step 1) open this video and mute it
step 2) open youtube in another tab and look up " march on the jedi temple"
step 3) execute order 66
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 :)

Semper Fi, brothers. 1st Bn. 26th Marines, Vietnam '68-'69
Thank You for your service! Our family is very grateful to our veterans!
A marine needs to be this comfortable with his/her own rifle.

Did they throw your punk ass out the plane ?
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..
+EMMETT ROWE I think you mean "esprit de corps"
That is correct
So the only branch with a biblical word in our motto.." faithful "
Few things bring me chills, but this did. Awesome
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
Man that shit is hard mentally. I'd be so scared and nervous I'd make so many mistakes lol

THERE IS SOOOO MUCH PERFECTION :') beautiful
i just love how they all move as a complete machine in uni cine. Its just fascinating.
Awesome! Very good job!
Close order formations USED to be valid combat tactics. But advances in weapons made them obsolete over 200 years ago.
K
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TIME THEY PUT IN FOR THIS. OUR BOYS ARE AWESOME.
how can you not like this.
not many people have seen this before and I'm sure they are very proud of the Marines.
Awesome skill! This is really mesmerising to watch.
Amazing, thanks.

and that can never be removed from me because it is a part of my DNA
That is so amazing I love it
10 years ago. Respected. Let's see them today!
Imagine how much even more badass it would have been to do the flips and catches with the bayonet attached.
Lots of practice went into that and its just fantastic
pure awesomeness.
When I was in highschool I was on a drill team, we didn't even come close to these guys.
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.
A very illuminating performance!
So sweet!!!! Glad I'm a part of the Marine Corps!
They are awesome. Some of the stuff they do people couldn't dream about doing
Awesome.... and Semper Fi!
Man, I am impressed! These guys are good!
Their bearing and precision are impeccable. I hope to be good enough to join one some day.
Salute, it takes SO much training drills to pull this off.
Master stroke performance! Gotta love the Marines!
Marines are the best!
Semper Fi lost a good friend in conflict but he was proud he was a marine
Great job with the video, sounded great 2 :)
Carry on
Love it !
To be in such a group requires the utmost lvl of discipline, skill, and hard work I.M.O
So mesmerizing!
Wow they’re like in sync robotic toy soldiers it’s amazing
1000000% Respect
from France
Awesome! from an Airman~
This should be on one of those "Most satisfying video in the World"s.
Except from an aerial view
It takes many hours of practice to be as good as what you just saw in this video.
These men were VERY good.
