international policing every year
particularly in Latin-America north OF

Since '9s the marines have been
with bayonets fixed and rifles loaded
for business in Cuba (twice), Porto

aragua, Mexico.
Into some of these places the sol
diers did not follow, but wherever the
soldiers did go they found the marines
had been ahead of them.
Contrary to general opinion, only
about half the marines live on navy
ships. There are three shore regi-
ments of about fifteen hundred men
each, stationed one on the Pacific
coast, one on the Atlantic and one on
tho Gulf of Mexico
Mobility is the essence of the ma
rine service. They only take with
them what they can carry on their
backs. When they serve with the
army, the army feeds them food and
ammunition. When they serve with
the navy the navy finds" them both
