The Weirdest, Dirtiest And Wildest Jobs In The Military

Military Artist

The Marine Corps Combat Art Program is a one of a kind program in the military. Artists in this program, known as military artists or combat artists, experience the war and document their experiences through art. Members must be both Marines and full-fledged artists; they cannot be just one or the other. These soldier-artists create pictorial accounts and interpretations of the battles they are in, creating an archived history of what occurred on the battlefield. They also serve during peacetime to help provide humanitarian relief. How many civilians would have guessed that artists would play such a key role in warfare?
