sburke Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Reading Battle for the City of the Dead on the 11th MEU in Najaf 2004. The 1/4th Marines are the ground combat element. In CM terms If I select an MEU I am I assume getting the ground combat element and the Commanding officer would be the Commander of the 1/4th Lt Col John Mayer and not the MEU commander Col Haslam. Correct assumption? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 A MEU in the Force Pick delivers a Lieutenant Colonel as the commander so my guess would be yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Odd circumstance. Guess not really odd, but as soon as I heard the unit name I thought, wait a minute I was just reading about that unit.... Watching Ken Burns on Vietnam Episode 7 and they are interviewing a guy from 1/4th Marines based near the DMZ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
