CAPT M.A. MOHR. USMC Commanding Officer The Marine Detachment is a small, independent command aboard the ENTERPRISE composed of 2 Officers and 70 Enlisted. The primary mission of the Marine Detachment is to provide Special Weapons Security. Additional missions include internal external security of the ship, Money Guards, Flag and Commanding Officer Orderlies as well as Honors and Ceremonies. As an independent command, the Marine Detachment is operationally responsible to the Commanding Officer of the ENTERPRISE. Administratively the Detachment falls under the commands of Fleet Marine Force (Pacific) and Headquarters Marine Corps. To accomplish its mission the Detachment is task organized in to a Headquarters Platoon and a Guard Platoon. The Guard Platoon composes the majority of the Marines aboard. Marines assigned to the Guard are highly trained and disciplined in all security matters to include rifle and pistol marksmanship, use of deadly force, anti-terrorist security, riot and crowd control and pertinent General and Guard Orders. These Marines are trained to respond to any emergency that requires the capabilities of a combat trained Marine, be it a Security Alarm in a Weapons Magazine, Mass Casualties on the Flight Deck or Repelling Unauthorized boarders. The Headquarters Platoon is responsible for handling all administrative functions required by an independent command to include: Files, Publications and Directives, Service Record Books, and the Computerized Unit Diary which monitors Promotions, Personnel Orders and all other aspects of Administration. The Headquarters element also includes the Damage Control NCO and Supply NCO. Marines assigned to Sea Duty are selected from the top of their class at either Recruit Training or Infantry Training School. The Marines of the Detachment serve their 2 year tour with Superior Dedication and Professionalism which has been the trademark of Sea Duty Marines for over 209 years. 1 should not deem a man-of-war complete without a body of Marines . . . imbued with that esprit that has so long characterized the old ' Corps ' Commodore Joshua R.
