Marine OOB

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering if anyone had bother to make Marine Corps OOB based on the V1 of the t2k I ask due to the fact that Marine Corps had units in all active areas of operations during the war, yet no one seems to give much thought into making a OOB in much detail than posting what Divisions where and some of the Expeditionary Forces. Just the question for the day.

Funny you should talk of Marine OOB. I was going through some papers last week and came across some notes I'd made on II FMF (2nd Marine Division). All three active divisions are organized basically the same. I have placed the information I have for 2 MarDiv, 2 FSG, and II MEF. The MAW (Marine Air Wing) info is not copmplete, and the squadrons there get shuffled more than do the units in the division and Fleet Support Group. Soooooooo without further ado, here is my contribution.
