SEMPER PACIFICA

USMC 250th Birthday

250TH USMC BIRTHDAY EVENT


SEMPER PACIFICA — The Ultimate Range Showdown & WWII LARP
Celebrating the USMC's 250th Birthday & the 80th Anniversary of Iwo Jima
November 8, 2025 | Nevada Firearms Academy

Honor the Legacy. Live the History. Shoot with Purpose.


This November, something legendary is coming to the Nevada desert. SEMPER PACIFICA isn’t just a range day—it’s a fully immersive tactical experience that fuses live-fire range challenges, WWII-themed LARPing, and USMC heritage, all in honor of two monumental milestones: the 250th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps and the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Hosted by High Plains Outfitters at the elite Nevada Firearms Academy, SEMPER PACIFICA brings veterans, history buffs, shooters, and patriots together for a day of remembrance, adrenaline, and camaraderie.


THE EXPERIENCE:

  • Tactical Fire Team Challenges: Compete in teams through live-fire obstacle courses inspired by historic battles in the Pacific Theater. Think: Marine Raider missions such as - Pilot rescue, Ammo Resupply mission, and knocking out forward observor positions—and yes, flamethrower demos...well, if legal.
     
  • Authentic WWII LARPing: Suit up in period-correct gear, reenact scenes from the island-hopping campaign, and engage in narrative-driven missions that bring 1945 to life.
     
  • The Iwo Jima Tribute Range: This is a one of a kind bonus points range simulating 50/50 contact on Iwo Jima. Bring your legs and lungs, this one will challenge your mind, body, and spirit.
     
  • Marine Corps Birthday Bash: Celebrate with a USMC-style cake cutting, whiskey toast, mess hall BBQ, and other cool shit.
     

WHY SEMPER PACIFICA?

This event isn’t about glorifying war—it’s about remembering sacrifice, celebrating Marine grit, and connecting past to present. SEMPER PACIFICA is a tribute to the warriors of Iwo, the generations that followed, and the Corps' unbreakable spirit—Semper Fi, Pacific-style.

RANGE OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

Semper Pacifica – Range Operations Overview


Date: November 8, 2025
Location: Nevada Firearms Academy
Host: High Plains Outfitters
Theme: USMC 250th Birthday & 80th Anniversary of Iwo Jima
Supported Charity: Task Force Garrison


Event Concept


Semper Pacifica is a live-fire tribute to the courage, chaos, and camaraderie of the United States Marines who fought through hell in the Pacific. This event celebrates 250 years of the U.S. Marine Corps and 80 years since the Battle of Iwo Jima, honoring their legacy with a course that pushes modern warriors through historically inspired island-assault scenarios.

This is meant to challenge you—mentally and physically. You’ll shoot, crawl, haul, and hustle. You WILL get dirty. You WILL get tired. But you’ll also eat good and laugh hard:

  • Marine Corps 250th Birthday Cake
     
  • Hot Breakfast & BBQ Lunch provided
     

No excuses. You're being fed and celebrated.

Teamwork pays off, so it behooves you to bring a friend. Some ranges are buddy-dependent, and your choice of partner could either elevate your score—or tank it.

Pack light and watch your history.
The real Raiders and Riflemen often ditched their gear on the beach and ran with nothing but boots, rifle, and extra ammo.
Piss pots (WWII steel pot helmets) are HIGHLY encouraged.
They’re cheap and everywhere—check Amazon for replicas. It adds to the immersion, and hey—LARP hard, win harder.

Ammo Note:
 

  • 5.56/.223 is provided for all rifle stages.
     
  • .30 Carbine available—just give us a heads-up if you’re bringing an M1 Carbine or other period rifle.
     
  • Sidearms are optional (only used in the 50/50 bonus round).


 

RANGE DESCRIPTIONS


Range 1: SAIPAN – “Resupply Under Fire”

Ammo replenishment op. Crawl under barbed wire, carry mortar rounds, and suppress a bunker before your buddy runs dry. Time, teamwork, and accuracy will make or break this one.

Buddy Range – Your partner’s success = your score.
Features: Barbed wire, ammo crates, prone/UKD targets, smoke, bunker assault
 

Range 2: PELELIU – “Downed Pilot Rescue”

Marine pilot down. You and your partner must recover him before the IJA captures him. Fast, accurate shooting on the move—then evac while your buddy lays down final cover fire for bonus points.

Buddy Range – Bonus points based on buddy’s performance.
Features: Rapid movement, downed pilot recovery, dynamic shots, cover fire bonus
 

Range 3: IWO JIMA – “Lone Forward”

You're the only Marine forward of the line. Eliminate the enemy Forward Observer team before they finish off your unit. One critical catch: a hidden sniper must be taken out for full points.

Solo Range – High-pressure suppression mission.
Features: Forward Observer kill, hidden sniper, tactical defilade
 

Range 4: GUADALCANAL – “50/50: Head On” (Bonus Round)

Head-to-head challenges. $5 buy-in per round, doubles every rematch. Scorecard bonus points on the line, and all proceeds support our veteran charities. Harder than the Crayons & Carbines 50/50 course, with zero spoilers—except this:
The Spirit of John Basilone is watching.

Bonus Range – Optional, but tough and rewarding.
Features: Fundraising challenge course, progressive buy-in, optional sidearm use
 




Bonus Range: Iwo Jima Call For Fire


Think fast, shoot straight — and call it in.


This optional bonus range lets you earn back points by plotting and adjusting indirect fire using map, compass, and protractor — just like they did in the Pacific.

Features the Explotrain X-O5 blast simulator for a realistic “shots out” battlefield effect.


Plot target, adjust fire, and call for final salvo


+5 points per correct impact


Run while ranges are hot — adds to the chaos


One-on-one rotation, no time wasted



Old-school fire mission. Full-blast realism. Can you send it?


BONUS PRIZES & HONORS


Each range honors one top shooter with the best combo of score and WWII immersion (LARP)—so go all in. Show up squared away in your gear, talk the talk, shoot straight, and win big.


Prize Highlights:


🏆 Top Overall Shooter

  • Wins an M1A1 Carbine by Auto-Ordnance – the OG PDW and bunker-clearer of the Pacific Theater.
     

🎖️ Top USMC Veteran Shooter

  • Awarded a Vial of Authentic Iwo Jima Sand – a sacred artifact in the Marine Corps legacy.
    If you know, you know.
     

🏵️ + Plenty of Other Cool Prizes

  • From gear to bragging rights—you’ll have to show up to find out.
     

WHO CAN ATTEND?


This is a celebration of the United States Marine Corps, but ALL ARE WELCOME.
You don’t need to be a Marine to test yourself against these battlefields—but if you are one, you better not sit this out.

Tough? Yes.
Fun? Absolutely.

Lock it in. Pack light. Move fast.
We’ll see you on the line.
