sv4TiMSfA CK GCE Since 1775 Marines have traditionally served as Soldiers of the Sea. The Marines of the Ground Combat Element upheld this tradition proudly as they contributed to our Nation ' s effort to make the Persian Gulf a safe and secure waterway. The GCE is a composite rifle company reinforced from 1st Battalion, 4th Marines in Twentynine Palms, California, consisting of 7 officers, 112 enlisted Marines and 6 Navy corpsmen. It is organized into a headquarters elements, a service platoon, two security platoons and two reaction platoons. During this deployment the two security platoons were stationed aboard the mobile sea bases in the northern Persian Gulf, Their mission was to provide security for the MSB ' s. The two reaction platoons and the service platoon remained aboard the USS DUBUQUE. Their duties included the conduct of over- the-horizon amphibious raids in combat rubber raiding craft, heliborne assaults, augmentation of the recon platoon and other special operations, as well as assisting the ship ' s company in manning guns at General Quarters Stations. The Marines and sailors of the GCE completed a wide range of specialized, individual training in preparation for this deployment. This training included amphibious raid operations, extensive weapons cross training, SPIE rigging, fast roping, and helocasting. Additionally, the GCE trained all over Southern California, Okinawa and the Philippines. Like Marines have been for over 200 years, the GCE has been an expeditionary force in readiness. 70
