(Continued from Page 6)
cording to Major Sullivan.
Marines gained the name “Devil
Dogs” during World War II, when
they fought against the Germans,
and in eight months of almost
continuous combat sustained more
casualties than it had in the pre
ceding 143 years of existence.
“These were ail proving grounds
for the Marines to test and im
prove their landing techniques,”
Major Sullivan stated. “But when
World War II started, we were
ready, and Guadalcanal gave us
the chance to prove that we know
how to make an amphibious as
sault.” The last large scale am
phibious assault made was the In
chone landings, he stated.
Major Sullivan, in summariz
ing his remarks, asked the ques
tion: "Does the Marine Corps have
a product to sell and is it worth the
price?” He answered it by stating
that the product is, in combination
with the Navy, a mobile, integrat
ed efficient fighting force that can
accomplish any mission assigned.
He said this force is organized into
three Divisions and three Air
Wings, plus one Brigade size Air
Ground Task Force.
With things as they are, in the
Near East and Cuba, the major
stated, about one third of the Divi
sion Wing team is afloat in the
Mediterranean and another one
third is in the Carribean. The 3rd
Division and the 1st Air Wing are
stationed in Japan and Okinawa.
Backing up the 3rd Division
Wing is a Brigade Air Ground
Team in the Hawaiian Island area.
“Not only can they support the
3rd Division, but they can also be
dispatched to any other area in
the Pacific on a moments notice,
including Alaska,” Major Sullivan

“What about the future?” Major
Sullivan asked. He answered by

continent. “In the meantime,” he
