Does the Marine Corps have an online PDF of their hand to hand fighting techniques like the Army does?

If so, does anybody have a link?

MightyB, you might be able to get something out of these X-Files. I am not sure if you need clearence or not, I still have them so I am not having a problem. If you can't see them let me know and I will see if I can get a pdf sent to me from command.

Yenhoi, this guys going out of a chopper, and he is probably spotting in an urban environment. We had little need for aussie style, since they dropped us on top of the buildings and we would take the stairs. This guy is being lowered down (by the way, normally this was done from the top of the building and not the chopper) head first so he can keep a minimum silhouette while pokinghis head through windows looking for bad guys. One hand free with a sidearm for CQB defense, keep em from popping out of the window and blasting your a$$ while you are hanging there in the open.

As an amusing aside, I hate heights with a passion, so our CO constantly was making me do this.

Yeah. Neat stuff.

That was actually my favorite way to go down, I got to do it a couple times out of a 'copter too.
