View Full Version : 24th MEU
I was watching some video clips of the 24th MEU on youtube.com. Could someone tell me about them? I really couldnt find much information about them. Any input is greatly appreciated.

They're secret. We can tell you about them, but then we'd have to kill you.
Look up Marine Expeditionary Unit in Wikipedia.

They will give you all the details after you complete your MCNT or Marine Corps Ninja Training, until then...

Also thry a site search on MEU and MAGTF and there may be an old post or two that I, or another Marine have written.

MSSG-24 (86-87)
From the information that I have got, it was the 24th MAU. The 24th MAU was redesignated as the 24th MEU. http://www.answers.com/topic/24th-marine-expeditionary-unit

CEV87,
In the Ask a Marine Forum youll have better luck. Heres a thread I from a while back. All MEUs are pretty mcuh the same. This should awnser your questions.

Whenever as President sends in the Marines, its usually a Marine Expeditionary Unit that is first in. In 1983 over 200 24th MEU Marines paid the ultimate price for being at the tip of the spear in Beirut Lebanon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing).
