MARINES Captain William H. LEONARD, USMC Former Combat Cargo Officer 1st Lieutenant Hubert T. WINSTON, USMC Combat Cargo Office The primary mission of FRANCIS MARION is to transport combat troops to any troubled spot in the world. After arriving at this troubled spot, the Swamp Fox is responsible for getting the troops to the beach and providing the necessary combat material needed to support the attack. FRANCIS MARION has room for 1,650 combat equipped troops and space for carrying jeeps, trailers, trucks, and light armored vehicles. All Marine divisions and personnel that are embarked on FRANCIS MARION are coordinated by 1st Lieutenant Hubert T. Winston, USMC, the ship ' s Combat Cargo Officer. Lt. Winston coordinates the loading, stowage, and off-loading of all vehicles and equipment. Through these long months in the Mediterranean, every where we turned there has been an olive green uniform to greet us. Marines everywhere-on the deck, sleeping in passage ways, cleaning rifles, sunbathing, waitingin lines. -and what for?- ! don ' t know, there was a line here and I thought it would be a good idea to get in it. And so it went. But more important than these things, in the last five and a half months the Navy and Marine Corps have worked as a team and have accomplished an out- standing job.
