Talk:1st Battalion, 3rd Marines

Awards

If awards ar mentioned the numer of killed or wounded would be also a good number to get a balance between heroic fighting and the price to be paid.--Stone 11:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

• If you can find them then you are more than welcome to add them.--Looper5920 11:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

For my part I dont need this articles at all. Are the numbers not available on the net or are they security issue in the US?--Stone 08:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Casualties are not broken down by Battalion for battles. The only true way to find out individual unit casulaties would be to research the actual unit histories on file at the Marine Corps museum. Don't know if that is only available in Quantico or if it is on line.--Looper5920 08:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Fallujah

I noticed Fallujah wasn't mentioned in the article. 1/3 participated in the battle of Falluja. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.201.207.165 (talk • contribs) 03:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

If you have verifiable information that you can add about 1/3's participation in the Battle, feel free to add it, along with reference(s). — ERcheck (talk) 04:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I was a Marine PFC H&S Co, 1-3-3 MOS 2533 Radio-Telegraph Operator and arrived Viet Nam in a C-130 at Da Nang Air Port/Base in March 1965. Maybe other 1-3-3 Units arrived by sea; I don't know and don't know if we were first to get there. I know I sat in a C-130 orange nylon seat and slept. When we arrived, the Loadmaster dropped the C-130 ramp, and I missed air conditioning immediately. It was particularly memorable because I had just finished cold weather training at Camp Fuji, Japan. The temperature difference felt dramatic.

−We set up and guarded a defense perimeter, pup tents, ate C-RATS for a few days, watched SeaBees carve a road up to the top of Hill 327 in about 7 days and am still impressed that it was a paved road and with narrow lanes.

−During that time, other SeaBees erected 'strong-backs" which were canvass covered, 2x4 constructed 10(?) man living quarters; we appreciated that the floors were also wood and they constructed perhaps 4 or 5 each day - they worked very fast. We also erected a remote AN/GRA-9 antenna site and a remote MRC-87 Radio Jeep antenna sight atop another hill nearby. During this time, Cooks and SeaBees also set up tents to cook chow. I found ways to get onto the USAF Base and get really good chow buy I was finally caught by a senior Air Force NCO who made sure I would not come back to 'his' chow hall: Air Force Only!! My Unit returned to Okinawa in November 1965 because our overseas rotation back to stateside came due.

Large parts almost copy pasted from www.globalsecurity.org

It seems that large parts of the "WW2" section have been mostly copied from globalsecurity.org[1]. These sections have a "citation needed" tag. I am still quite new, I have no experience in military unit research so I wouldn't know how to fix these sections. There seems to be some discussion on whether to use globalsecurity.org as a source, but I do not see any consensus, but it seems to lean towards reliable. Here and here are previous discussions on the reliability.

Due to these being almost exact copies from globalsecurity.org, copyright may apply [2] and this page seems to breach it.

These parts seem to have been added at the start of the article. Would it be best to add the source? Hope someone who does have knowledge in this field is willing to pick this up? or due to the copyright remove all copied text?
