This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major ground component of the active Marine Corps Reserve is the 4th Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force. The combat record of this division in World War II was exemplary; in the short space of one year it participated in four major amphibious assaults and won two presidential citations. The interest in its battle record among the reservists who now serve in its ranks has prompted the republication of this brief history, originally published in August 1945 and reprinted in 1974. This new reprint contains a brief history of the reserve 4th Division, written by Colonel Joseph B. Ruth, USMCR, a former member of the 25th Marines. Also included are copies of the division’s lineage and honors, a list of its commanders, and a list of its units and their locations. The author of the 1945 history, then First Lieutenant John C. Chapin, served in the 3d Battalion, 24th Marines of the 4th Division. Assigned to the Historical Division when he recovered from wounds received in combat in Saipan, he completed this history and a similar one of the 5th Marine Division before his release from active duty.—E.H. Simmons, Brigadier General, U. S. Marine Corps (Ret.), Director of Marine Corps History and Museums

Download or read book History of the 4th Marine Division 1943 2000 and The 4th Marine Division in World War II written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of two excellent books about the 4th Marine Division: History of the 4th Marine Division - 1943-2000 and The 4th Marine Division in World War II. It communicates the proud lineage and tradition of the "Fighting Fourth" Marine Division. The history of the "Fighting Fourth" Marine Division is a very proud and distinguished one. Its honors and lineage are a narrative to the dedication and sacrifice of Marines and Sailors that, woven together, chronicles this most distinguished combat division of the United States Marine Corps. This second edition closes the gap in the written history of the division and updates the landmark work begun by my predecessor Brigadier General Frederick Lopez. Its story begins with the division's activation for war in 1943, looks at the Reserve issues in the 1950 s and 1960's, follows the reactivation and organization for war after Vietnam and combat in Southwest Asia. This work ends in 2000 with the 4th Marine Division, a proud and powerful contributor to the Total Force and a critical link in America's warfighting capability for the 21st century.

Download or read book Complete 4th Marine Division Unit Rosters written by Brent Spencer and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the complete unit rosters of the 4th Marine Division for January 1945. The information is organized by unit and last name. The data was compiled from the National Archives January 1945 Muster Roll, making this book perfect for Iwo Jima related studies. Every effort has been made to ensure the best possible accuracy. Please note that members of some Joint Assault Signal Companies (JASCO) may not be included in this book as they were assigned "as needed" to Marine Divisions and the division information was not always included in the muster rolls. The Spearhead - The World War II History of the 5th Marine Division is a publication that contains the complete unit rosters for the 5th Marine Division from 1943 through 1945. Although there are similar publications for the 3rd and 4th Marine Divisions, neither of these books contains complete unit rosters from any year. Please check out my other USMC Unit Roster books.

Download or read book Hold High the Torch written by Kenneth W. Condit and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hold High the Torch, the first of a series of regimental and squadron histories by the Historical Branch, G-3 Division, Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps, is designed primarily to acquaint the members of the 4th Marines, past and present, with the history of their regiment. In addition, it is hoped this volume will enlarge public understanding of the Marine Corps’ worth both in limited war and as a force in readiness. During most of its existence the 4th Marines was not engaged in active military operations, but service of the regiment in China, the Dominican Republic, and off the west coast of Mexico, was typical of the Marine Corps’ support of national policy. In many of its combat operations, the 4th Marines was only one element of a much larger force. In other instances, as in the Dominican Republic and China, the regiment was a subordinate unit in situations which were essentially political and diplomatic. Only so much of these higher echelon activities as are essential to an understanding of the 4th Marines story have been told. This is a regimental history and the focus is therefore on the 4th Marines.
