Washington, D.C. (February 3, 2025): Due to their discipline and precision, the Silent Drill Platoon is the personification of Marine Corps excellence. The Platoon is a twenty-four-person drill team that conducts dazzling performances for audiences around the country. So, how do you become a member of such a storied unit? In this photo by Lance Corporal Christopher Prelle, the newest members of this elite group pose for a photo after the culmination of Silent Drill Selection. Candidates must pass a six-week course on advanced drill and ceremony and also train at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona to perfect their routines. After the grueling physical training and countless hours spent perfecting the art of military drill, these Marines will earn their “black shirts” and a spot in this elite tradition.
The platoon is known for its unique exhibition involving the precise handling of weapons. In a remarkable display of exactness, members execute a series of calculated drill movements with hand-polished, M-1 Garand rifles with fixed bayonets. The routine concludes with a striking rifle inspection sequence demonstrating elaborate rifle spins and tosses.
