Hello again!

Could I represent USMC soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan with these Alpine US Army figures?

No. The style and cut of the uniforms are different.

Hello Jim!

Many thanks for the help.

And these figures:

Could they "be" the Marines?

Marine tankers? Yes. They just can't be painted as infantry for either Army or Marines. As a side note...the Army is now issuing this same Nomex uniform in a digital ACU pattern.

Thank you again, Jim!

I will use these figures to represent Marines infantry in front of Humvee, something like this:

Make sure you remember this:

These are NOT infantry figures and should NOT be painted to represent infantry figures.

If you want to paint these figures to represent Marines, keep in mind that these figures should represent AFV (Armored Fighting Vehicle) crewmen. You can place them beside an M1A1 or an LAV. That said, they could just be Marine tankers standing beside a HUMVEE.

In the end, the choice is really yours and what you choose to do/paint. I just wanted to assist you with accuracy (if this is what you're trying to do).
