DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS 3000 MARINE CORPS PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20350-3000 5720 ARSF January 28, 2015 SENT VIA FOIAONLINE SUBJECT: YOUR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUEST, FILE NUMBER DON-USMC-2015-000868 This responds to your October 24, 2014, FOIA request for an electronic file of patches, logos, and insignias for Marine Corps units, including cyberwarfare units. Your request was received on October 31, 2014, and controlled under file number DON-USMC-2015-000868. We initiated a search of the files maintained by the Trademark Licensing Office (TMLO), the Marine Corps Historical Division (MCHD), and the Gray Research Center Library of the Marine Corps. TMLO personnel were the only ones who located responsive records and, having determined that they are releasable, we have enclosed a CD for you with unit patches and logos on it. MCHD provided some information that may be helpful for you. They advise that there are two types of insignia, aviation and non-aviation. Aviation insignia fall under the final approval authority of the Navy, and MCHD recommended contacting the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) for assistance. MCHD apparently did have digital copies at one time but, due to a computer/IT issue, those electronic files no longer exist and they did not maintain paper copies. Hence, NHHC would be the best avenue to obtain those. With respect to non-aviation units, those insignia are unofficial only, and for this reason MCHD only has what the units choose to send them. For the ones they do have, they are maintained only in hard copy, not digitized. Ms. Annette Amerman, a historian at MCHD, asked us to let you know that you are most welcome to visit their facility, review their files and make copies of whatever you wish, and you may take a camera or a computer and scanner with you. Should you wish to do that, she did ask that you contact them ahead of time as their space is limited. Their phone number is (703) 432-4893, and they are located at Quantico. If you consider this to be an adverse determination, you may appeal to the Judge Advocate General (Code 14), 1322 Patterson Avenue SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066. Your appeal, if any, must be postmarked within 60 calendar days from the date of this letter and should include a copy of your initial request, a copy of this letter, and a statement indicating why you believe your appeal should be granted. I recommend that your appeal and its envelope both bear the notation "Freedom of Information Act Appeal." 5720 ARSF January 28, 2015 We have categorized you as an "other requester" for the purpose of assessing FOIA processing fees. In this instance, however, any applicable fees are waived, given the length of time it has taken to respond to your request. I am the official responsible for this determination. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ms. Barbara Gonzalez of my staff at (571) 256-8636 or (703) 614-4008, via email to [email protected] or fax at (703) 614-6287.

    1 1945 November 26-December 2 From Red Raider to Marine Raider (La Crosse Tribune, 1945 December 2, page 13) (La Crosse Tribune, 1944 March 5, page 7) Julius Wittenberg of La Crosse was a kid from a broken home who made his mark as a high school athlete and went on to become a member of one of the elite fighting units of World War II. Julius C. Wittenberg was born on May 2, 1920, in La Crosse to Frank and Sylvia (Miles) Wittenberg.1 He was named after his grandfather, Julius Wittenberg.2 Frank Wittenberg was a painter and wallpaper hanger.3 Young Julius was just four years old when Sylvia Wittenberg filed for divorce in September 1924 from her husband of 18 years. She alleged that Frank Wittenberg had "repeatedly struck her, used abusive language toward her and failed to properly support her."4 2 Four years later, Frank Wittenberg was living in Waupun, Wisconsin.5 He had taken a job as a guard at the Wisconsin state prison in Waupun. Julius, and his brother, Frank Jr., who was two years older, lived with their father at Waupun, as did a 21-year-old housekeeper named Virginia H. Ebner.6 Sylvia Wittenberg had also moved on. In October 1929, she married Arthur Hoeft in the German Lutheran parsonage in Caledonia, Minnesota.7 Arthur Hoeft of La Crosse was a veteran of World War I.8 In 1924, he had started working for his sister, Helen Mae Hoeft, at the Paramount Photo Shop at 225 Main Street. Helen Hoeft and photographer Millard Reynolds had created the first mail-order photo finishing business in the nation, and she named it Ray's Photo Service.

  • 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.

This prehistoric man kept the fire going by piling up the moss for cooking and warmth. As man evolved, he invented hunting tools to kill animals, such as the Woolly Mammoth and other fur bearing animals for their skins to make clothes and their meat for food. Roving bands of people attempted to barter for the things they needed or sometimes took the materials they wanted by harming or killing the opposing party. Eventually, mankind learned to cultivate crops allowing him to settle in farms to provide food for his family. With these beginnings of civilization, leaders and councils were picked to organize communities and make decisions for the betterment of the citizenry. The leaders formed governments and declared certain regions for themselves; forming kingdoms, granting councils the ability to make laws, and enforce regulations.
