		For example, when an edge with a 0.002" hone feeds into the workpiece at 0.004 ipr, the hone is half the size of the uncut chip yet effectively protects the tool's edge.
		Edge preparation has not received the amount of attention given to other tool features, such as the substrate and coatings.
		Chip thickness at the trailing edge is smaller than the hone, so the cutting edge removes material inefficiently, which increases friction, cutting forces, temperature and wear rate.

		When I was serving, we always had a “Gator fleet” - a battle group ready to conduct amphibious operations such as this - in the Mediterannean Sea.
		In SHARP EDGE, we evacuated non-American non-combatants because it was the right thing to do - we didn’t charge them a dime and we didn’t have them sign papers promising an unknown payment in the future.

		Although the Marines may not be taught the same material as the Special Forces or any special operations detachment, they are probably America's best frontline force.
		Point taken, though I'd be interested to see how each service stacks up regarding their relative responsibilities and expenditures vs. their funding (how many dollars they have, say, per aircraft, for example, or per square mile of area of responsibility they're expected to operate in) and funding vs. manpower (dollars per servicemember).
		Last paragraph of the Mission, says here it was done by 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, but it says 24th in the article about the operation itself.
