This scene is mostly true to fact; my father was XO of C Company, 164th Regiment, Americal Division, and was tasked with offloading supplies to Kukum Beach in early Oct 1942 . When the Japanese planes came over to bomb Henderson Field, the offloading stopped and the GI's all headed to bunkers, which is when the Marines showed up to steal their stuff. This whole series about the Guadalcanal campaign was very well done and very accurate.

In Somalia I was given the title of "acquisitions specialist" Which meant I "borrowed" the Battalion XOs vehicle at random times (when he was in a meeting kissing someones asshole) and would take said vehicle (HMMWV) to the port and "acquire" much needed military resources from shipping containers that always seemed to have already had their seals broken off them (the luck I know). This made me a valuable part of company morale. Also, prior to deploying to said shithole I realized hey, this Hummer has a lot of room in the back of it. I bet I can find some old Vietnam era trunks at the motor pool and guess what, I was successful. I then made a hasty assault to the local PX and loaded the trunks with jerk off mags, cigarettes (which I think were something like 11 dollars a carton at the time), booze, jerky, canned foods, and even sodas and much more. Needless to say this cemented my position as a very important member of my beloved Company. I was also the company's mail clerk and I did push my luck severely one day. I went thru all the baskets of mail and took out our company mail prior to allowing Division to process it. Now that one......that one got me in some hot water and I started to get more monitored and had to get more creative during my time there liberating wonderful people who we were freeing from oppression. Speaking of freeing the oppressed. I once "acquired" and sold an entire hefty bag of marijuana to members of the 10th Special Forces group for?????? 25 dollars. Approximately twice what I paid for it from a local. Ahhhh no PTSD here.

Three things civilians only need to understand when the Army and Marines squabble among their ranks and give each other crap. 1. It's a state of mind or it's a family thing. 2. Marines and Army makes their arguments and pranks more intense then the "tickle pillow fights" civilians have. 3. If the situation arises between any of our branches...stay the HELL away from their sector of fire or blast radius.

We took over a forward observation post a couple thousand feet up a mountain once. The only access was by helicopter, home was where you dug it, the command post hole had a desk made from a boulder, a roof of canvas covered pallets. But in front of the radios was a beautiful blue leather swivel chair - the sort with pneumatic suspension, lumbar support and an adjustable headrest. It said 'property of the United States Air Force' on it. We weren't Air Force. We weren't even United States. Whoever relocated that chair was clearly the top man in our war.

My Dad was in the 5th Marines on Guadalcanal. Prior to the series being started I had posted on one of the sites, that Dad always recalled the first thing he ate after bring resupplied was a can of peaches. So now you know where that scene came from. That's the only time I ever heard him speak about Guadalcanal.

Ali Sadeq You're an idiot. The reason they're called Marines is because they work closely with the Navy, so that they can be deployed anywhere in the world extremely fast. That's why they're almost always the first large force into a combat area. They aren't a 2nd Army, they don't have the man power for it, they are a ruthless, hard charging groups of fuckers that are sent in to get the job done. And the Marines are trained to operate anywhere, desert, jungle, mountains, and the extreme cold.

RedWolf 893 by the time of guadalcanal the marines had about 100k garands and about 10k per month order. they were equipped with what was top of the line equipment. unfortunately the guadalcanal units werent updated yet. however the mgs and rifles were essentially the same. they also had the johnson lmg and semi auto.
@MrChickennugget3607 жыл бұрын
the opening stages of the Guadalcanal campaign were done very quickly. its roots go back to the Battle of Midway- this resulted in a catastrophic defeat for the Japanese Navy. Admiral King, Chief of staff of the Navy convinced the the other senior leadership that they could not afford to not take advantage of the Japanese weakness and go on the offensive. the US Army was already preparing for major landings in North Africa that would take place in November 1942 and the Army was not interested in a Pacific First campaign. But you cannot allow an opportunity like this to be passed up so King sent in his Marines. prior to this no major offensives had been planned since it would draw away resources from the European Theater. It is unlikely that the Marines had been equipped to launch any major offensives until 1943 at the earliest. However Midway Changed all of this so they had to move fast before the Airfield was finished. Their is a reason why the Marines referred to this as "operation shoe string"

During Desert Shield, we were operating our KC-130's out of Bahrain International Airport. We kind of commandeered a small hangar and a flight line. Anyway, we kind of became the default VAL line. C-5 lands and one of the crew says "we have some vehicles for the Marines." Our C.O. says, "We're Marines." so we kind of took possession of the two HUMMVEES and the two Chevy pickups, CUTV I think... Well eventually the rightful owners came looking for them and we finagled keeping one of each to use as flight line vehicles. I think we had them all for at least a month.

Marines are part of the Department of the Navy, so they have a budget based on what the Navy allows. Whereas the Army, being it's own department, develops its own weapons and supplies itself directly. The M1 Garand, for example, was an Army project, so naturally the Army got first dibs.
