  • Marine Expeditionary Brigade - Afghanistan
    April 11, 2014 Volume 1, Issue 2 Marine Expeditionary Brigade - Afghanistan Family Newsletter The Command Element of Regional Command (Southwest) in Helmand province, Afghanistan. From the Commander’s Desk: Dear friends and family, This newsletter comes to you just after Afghanistan’s April 5 presidential election, which I’m sure you’ve heard was a tremendous success. While we certainly stood back in a supporting role, every single section on this staff has been focused on the election for many months and has worked tirelessly to train and advise their Afghan security counterparts so they could ensure the election was a secure and successful one. The Afghan people rejected the Taliban and their threats of violence and turned out in large numbers, including female voters, who comprised an estimated 35 percent of the vote. This year seven million voters turned out across Afghanistan, three million more than the last presidential election during 2009. That means 58 percent of the registered voters actually cast a vote, a far higher percentage than we see in U.S. elections. In RC(SW) the news was also positive. This year 209 polling centers were open throughout Helmand and Nimroz provinces, compared to 148 during 2009, and there were an estimated 155,000 more registered voters. In Kajaki District here in Helmand not a vote was cast during 2009, but this year approximately 3,500 voted. Only 177 voted in Sangin District last time, but more than 5,000 voted this year. That is a tremendous measure of success for a district in which the Marine Corps has fought hard and sacrificed much in recent years.

Hamilton Deputy Secretary Kevin Cherry August 10, 2018 Rick Richardson [email protected] Cultural Resources Program, USMC Camp Lejeune 12 Post Lane MCIEast-MCB Camp Lejeune Camp Lejeune, NC 28547 Re: Historic Resource Re-evaluation Report, Stone Bay Rifle Range Historic District, Camp Lejeune, Onslow County, ER 07-2777 Dear Mr. Richardson: Thank you for your email of July 19, 2018, transmitting the above-referenced report. We have reviewed the materials submitted regarding the Stone Bay Rifle Range Historic District (ON1030), which was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2000. We concur that a boundary decrease is warranted. However, we recommend that the boundary continue to include the remaining contributing structures of the “village.” The revised south boundary would run east with Powder Lane across Rifle Range Road to the eastern district boundary as shown on the enclosed map. We concur that the district remains eligible for listing under Criterion A for military history. Furthermore, we believe the district to be eligible under Criterion C as the entirety of the complex, village and ranges, represents a “significant and distinguished entity” of military design and construction. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.
