1 I I ey ii ' rl i T E 5 ,H S UPPIY The mission of Supply is to keep the grunts prepared to locate, close with and destroy the enemy . . . Every piece of gear that is humped to the field finds its roots in the Supply WarehO11SC- ThiS includes everything from bug juice to cold weather underwear. It is our goal to see that every Marine and Sailor in the BLT goes into combat with the best gear that the government can buy and to ensure that additional gear is readily available. During the predeployment phase, supply was under the gun. Everything focused on the ability of the section to provide the BLT superb supply support. The professionalism displayed by all members of the section was the underlying factor that contributed to the success of the mission. Whatever isn't nailed down is mine and whatever I can pry loose, isn't nailed down. - Collis P.

QW' BLT S -4fArmoryfEmbark To the acclaim of thousands, the BLT S-4 CLogisticsD Section provided never ending and much publicized logistical support to the battle-weary Marines of BLT 2f6 during the last year and in particular, those last six months on float. The S-4 Office is responsible for all the , logistical support to the BLT to include supply, maintenance, transportation, embarkation, ordnance, food service, weapons repair and financial management matters. The best way to think of the S-4 shop is to think of the Marines who coordinate the procurement and movement of beans, bullets and bandages to the field in the quickest manner possible while tracking maintenance on the delivery vehicles and the money to pay for it all. Fearless, brave and untiring during all tactical operations, the hard- charging S-4 Marines were always eager to charge ashore to provide the combat service support that they trained long and hard for! Consisting of steely-eyed ammunition techs who in the blink of an eye could produce thousands of rounds of ammunition to the cunning maintenance management specialists always looking for goodie boxes, to the embarkation Marines willing to off-load the ship in the dead of the night, to the Mr. Fix-it armorers always looking for a damaged weapon of war to repair. The logisticians were always ready to provide total support to the infantrymen up front.

QL Headquarters And Service Company Back Row: LCpl Dominguez, LCpl Werner, Sgt Bledson Front Row: LCpl Silveira, 1stLt Walker, GySgt Brooks, LCpl'Boltin Need any non-combat support? If so, H 8z S Company does it all. Need a machinegun repaired? How about an administrative action request? Do you have a pay problem that needs correcting? Want motor transport support? How about some 782 gear? OK, no more 782 gear but one out of five isn't too bad! In fact, anything that the Battalion or the Companies do require H 8: S Company participation and support. Our Cooks have the ability to prepare a seven course Marine cuisine meal and our Corpsmen have the expertise necessary to heal,' you afterwards. Our Special Services section ensures that you always get beer rations and entertainment and our religious support section provides you with the forgiveness for partaking. Our Headquarters Element or Battalion Staff is the brains of the organization and after spending a day with one of the staff sections, such as the Intelligence Officer, you will see that not all the brains possess intelligence. During the LF6F deployment we were also privileged to have a platoon from 2d Recon Battalion, 2d Combat Engineer Battalion, 2d Tank Battalion and a section from Anti- Tank Company. These combat support attachments maintained a very fast-paced training schedule. They could never be found and were always at training . We know that they were onboard the ship, however, because they all signed the liberty log. Thus with such stalwart means as these, H 81 S Company guided BLT 216 around the Mediterranean.
