Marines!
Have both the 9th Marines and the 4th Marines been totally deactivated? I read with sorry that 3/4 was deactivated. But, is there still a portion of the 3rd Mar Div?

und this on the 4th
Currently each of the Regiment's three battalions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battalion) are part of other Marine infantry regiments in the 1st Marine Division (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Marine_Division_(United_States)). The regiment in turn hosts battalions stationed in the US mainland and Hawaii for training in jungle warfare (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_warfare).
But if you look at the 3rd Div it looks like they are disbanding it a little at a time.

I served with the 3/26 in Nam. They were deactivated after WW2. Was reactivated for Nam. Although they were in the 5th Mar Div....they were under occupational control of the 3rd Div., then the 1st Div. I think they were deactivated after Nam. So, those units will more than likely be activated in time of war.

I heard they disbanded my old unit too. 1/9. Is there any truth to that. What would the world be like without the "Walking Dead"?
