The Marder (German for "marten") is a German Infantry Fighting Vehicle / IFV operated by the German Army as the main weapon of the Panzergrenadiere (mechanized infantry) from the 1970s through to the present day. Developed as part of the rebuilding of Germany's armoured fighting vehicle industry, the Marder has proven to be a successful and solid infantry fighting vehicle design. While it used to include a few unique features, such as a fully remote machine gun on the rear deck and gun ports on the sides for infantry to fire through, these features have been deleted or streamlined in later upgrade packages to bring it more in line with modern IFV design (the MG has been moved to be a coaxial, the gun ports entirely welded shut and uparmored). It is overall a simple and conventional machine with one large rear exit hatch and three top hatches for mounted infantry to fire from. The Marder is currently being replaced by its successor, the Puma.

DELTA FORCE - 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta - 1st SFOD-D
Delta Force also known as 1st Special Forces Operational
Detachment-Delta(1st SFOD-D), Combat Applications Group (CAG), Task
Force Green (TF Green) or simply The Unit, is the US Army's elite
counter-terrorism unit.
According to Eric Haney, the unit's Operator
Training Course is approximately six months long. While the course is
constantly changing, the skills taught broadly include the following:
- Marksmanship
The trainees shoot without aiming at stationary targets at close range
until they gain almost complete accuracy, then progress to moving
targets.
Once these shooting skills are perfected, trainees
move to a shooting house and clear rooms of "enemy" targets – first one
only, then two at a time, three, and finally four. When all can
demonstrate sufficient skill, "hostages" are added to the mix.
