The Vietnam War
In April 1966, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division located at Camp Pendleton, CA deployed to the Republic of Vietnam. During the next five years the battalion participated in combat operations in Hue, Que Son, Phu Bai, Dong Ha,Phu Loc and ran combat operations out of their firebase at An Hoa. The battalion returned to Camp Pendleton in 1971, and in 1975 participated in Operation New Arrival, the relocation of Southeast Asian Refugees . . .
U.S. Marines in Vietnam 1954 – 1975
This is a nine-volume history of Marine Corps operations in the Vietnam War. A separate functional series complements the operational histories. Written from diverse views and sources, the common thread in this narrative is the continued resistance of the South Vietnamese Armed Forces, in particular the Vietnamese Marine Corps, to Communist aggression.

2021 Annual Reunion in Quantico, VA has been cancelled.
Due to many issues we have decided to once again cancel the Quantico Reunion. We received an email from the reunion coordinator at Quantico. Base access may be disallowed at any time due to Covid conditions in the surrounding area. The other problem we face is the fact that travel and gathering may be unsafe.
