ElDiablo - You are not authorized death. "Iwo Jima" is getting warm..... keep digging!

Paul120689 - Nope. See above and keep digging!

Jdncowboy - time to redeem yourself!

HurricaneRJ - Are you confusing the daggum ARMY with my beloved USMC???

HINT: If you combine Hurricane's silly answer and ElDiablo's train of thought and add WWII, you might figure it out.

The answer is TRICKY!

HurricaneRJ - Finally!!!!!

I tricked you guys! Sorry, but you're ALL too good!

The 5th MARDIV no longer exists, except in history books, therefore it has no current headquarters.

" In World War II, two more Marine Divisions were formed: the Fifth and Sixth, which fought in the Pacific War. These divisions were disbanded after the end of the war. "

RJ - PUSH-UP!!!!

Everybody else go get some long distance PT. Oooorah!

Guys, don't wait for the Marines to ask the question to look them up on google to learn some information.

Head to the stickies and learn a few things, so you can know stuff off the top of your head.

For ex.

26thMEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) has three major subordinate componets.

2nd Battalion 2nd Marine Regiment (Rein) - Ground Combat Element
Infantry, Tanks, Artillery, Combat Engineers etc.

Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 264 (Rein) - Aviation Combat Element
F-18, Super Cobras, Sea Knights etc.

Combat Logisitc Battalion 26 - Logistics Combat Element
Medical, Support, Engineers, Operations etc.

I already know what each of the three componets mission is and how they work together to complete each and every mission.

That last question was tricky for some, but it should have never been that hard to figure out. Now I was tricked as well, but we all should know that only 4 Marine Divisions are active right now.
