l 1 1 capt armstrong usmc commanding officer meriime The Marine Detachment is a separate command aboard LEXINGTON, administered under the Gunnery Department. They carry on the mission of Marines aboard naval vessels that have always been a part of America's history. MARDET plays a large part in the ship's defense- manning two of the gun mounts and providing basic internal physical security by guarding sensitive areas. They are the backbone, the nucleus, of the Landing Party. Culpepper's Raiders have one mission: to kill the enemy-and one thing to say: show us the enemy. As all true Marines everywhere they are spit and polish-as the saying goes: if it does not move, paint it, if it does move, polish it. eleleellirruleiml 2nd lt ilaherty usmc executive officer
