Lizards and U.S. Marines share more than a moniker in common (Marines used to wear leather collared uniforms
during the Revolutionary War; hence the name). Lizards move in a variety of ways, depending on body structure
and habitat. Some can run quickly on well-developed hind legs, others are good swimmers, and a number climb trees.
The Marine Corps serves as a versatile combat element, adapted to a wide variety of operations. Lizards may be burrowing
or land-dwelling, some live in trees and others live partly in water. Marines are trained and equipped to carry out
integrated land, air, and sea operations. Lizards exhibit a wide range of defense mechanisms. Many change color
in response to their environment. The camouflage pattern on Marine unforms is suitable for "every clime and place,"
and effective for blending into many environments.
The Marine Corps is also known for having a few defense mechanisms of their own.
