Collection: Captain Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders

The Leathernecks were commanded by U.S. Navy submarine Captain Simon Savage, who modeled his squad after Nick Fury's Howling Commandos. Savage had appeared in several issues of Sgt. Fury. Why an experienced submarine commander with an equivalent Army/Marine rank of Colonel was employed to lead a small squad (usually led by a Corporal) on land operations was never explained.
