I . MARINE DETACHMENT, CTIVATED on 27 February, 1951, at the Marine Barracks, Nor- folk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia, the Tarawa ,Marine Detachment reported aboard for duty on 5 March, 1951, at the New York Naval Shipyard, Brooklyn, New York. The primary mission of the Tarawa Marine Detachment is to provide a small highly trained, efficient landing force ready for immediate employment whenever the need for such force arises. To this end the Tarawa Marines attend daily periods of instruc- tion where they are taught basic infantry subjects, functioning and use of weapons, and small unit tactics. In port when facilities are available the Marines maintain their smart appearance with periods of close order drill and personnel inspections. At sea, at their battle stations the Marines man the two aft twin 40mm machine guns. Liberty throughout the Med cruise has provided the members of the detachment with a valuable education as well as memories were either inadequate or non-existent organized parties filled the bill.. Here theprivates and the non-coms did battle on the softball diamond while all hands enjoyed the ice-cold refresh- ments. ' ' In port the big hangar deck cleared of planes provided an ,ideal court on which the Marine Detachment basketball team showed up well against intramural as well as outside competition. Upon completion of the Med cruise many of the Tarawa Marines will be leaving for new duty stations, It is therefore fitting that we take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to all our shipmates who have made our tour of duty a pleasant one. W long to be remembered, not to mention the sea bags stuffed with souvenirs from every port of call. In ports where local facilities Close order drill on 'fhe Quay af Oran, Algeria.
