its already been established they have limited fuel rations.
a MEU travels with 30 days worth of supplies.
or do you want to ignore that fact.
And again you havent been in the military so you arent comprehending I dont think what a 30 day worth of supplies means.
I guess you failed to read this post.

fwiw, that 30 day number is for fully sustained combat readiness (active go), a MEU may opt to stand down to 25% watch to extend that number out to 100-120 days (1 or 2 meals a day, no live firing, rationing of fuel, limited sorties etc)

It's kind of laughable to think that the Romans would lose one skirmish to the marines and suddenly through instant communication between all 20 legions, they would all know how to adapt to these strange new weapons. 2200 Marines could easily overtake Rome. The army of the Sun God has arrived in his chariot to punish them for something HOLY SHIZ they'd be losing their minds. They would be in total panic.

I did read that post, you still dont seem to comprehend what that means. Its kind of hard to do this when you dont understand the military at all or what these things really mean.

I understand it as that they can carry out normal operations in combat conditions for 30 days.
I dont know what you consider 30 days worth of supplies. I am just using information provided by the USMC on the capability of a MEU.

I was in the Navy, and I agree with you, but he knows less than that even.
