Nothing denotes a U.S. Marine Corps Marksmanship Instructor or Range Coach more so than the iconic Pith Helmet. First worn and popularized by U.S. Marines in the 1940s in tropical environments, it remains a traditional piece of headgear that still sees use on Marine Corps rifle ranges to this day. Otherwise known as the "Elephant Hat" by Marines, it stands as a symbol of the Marine Corps' philosophy that every Marine is first and foremost a rifleman and that Marine Corps Marksmanship Instructors carry the important duty of passing on that ethos to junior Marines and recruits.
