Luke Blom A U.S. Marine with the Hawaii-based 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment stands behind the American and Marine Corps flags during a ceremony honoring the Marine Corps’ 231st birthday at the Haditha Dam in Iraq’s Al Anbar province, Nov. 10. For Marines around the world, Nov. 10 is a time to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday, regardless of where they are stationed. While most Marines in the U.S. attend a formal ball or ceremony, the "Island Warriors" celebrated the milestone without the glitz of a formal ball, focusing on Marine traditions passed down through the ranks. During the ceremony at the Haditha Dam, Marines upheld the basic traditions of the ceremony – the reading of 13th Marine Corps Commandant Gen. John A. Lejeune’s birthday message, the reading of the current commandant’s birth- day message, and conducting a cake-cutting ceremony. During the cake-cutting, the oldest Marine present takes the first piece of cake and passes it to the youngest Marine present, representing the pass- ing of traditions from one generation to the next. Marines from 2/3, who arrived in Iraq in September, are providing security and training Iraqi security forces in the Haditha “Triad” region, which boasts a population of about 80,000 and consists of three Euphrates River towns — Haditha, Barwanah and Haqlaniyah.

Lynne Pace, wife of General Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the proud sponsor. It was a cloudy, rainy, and very humid day in Pascagoula but the weather did not dampen the spirits of those in attendance. The organizers were very well prepared with red, white and blue umbrellas. There was a lot of excitement in the shipyard. Lynne's words were heartfelt. She addressed the shipyard workers and told them she was honored to be the sponsor of AMERICA. She said the word America is enormous. It means many things to many people. Freedom, pride and diversity are just some examples. She encouraged the shipyard workers, a very diverse group truly representative of America, to do their very best.

While conducting routine operations in the Arabian Gulf, Dunham and Courbet, under tactical control of U.S. 5th Fleet Task Force (TF) 55, rendezvoused to perform a variety of integrated training that included a liaison naval officer (LNO) exchange, a low-slow flyer (helicopter) drill and deck-landing qualification (DLQ) for a U.S. helicopter aboard Courbet. “Working with the FS Courbet was a perfect chance to demonstrate our ability to integrate with other countries,” said Cmdr. John Hamilton, Dunham’s commanding officer. “It allows France to see how we operate and learn from our methods but it also allows our crew the chance to learn from them.” Dunham has also worked with other countries including the Egyptian Naval Force and the Indian Navy during the ship’s current deployment. Jason Dunham is on deployment in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points. Webmaster’s Note: USS Jason Dunham (DDG-109) is an Arleigh Burke- class destroyer in the United States Navy.

As Marines, we are very fortunate to have such history and traditions that are handed down, as they help to instill the pride and honor that motivates Marines to be the best fighters in the world. If the Army, Navy, and Air Force ever understood the Marines embracement of it’s history and traditions , they would certainly, no longer dub us “brainwashed”. Of course, as Marine Corps Leaguer’s, we are now motivated to throw some of the meanest parties the world. There- fore, I would like to thank everyone that attended this years Birthday Ball, especially those members who sat on this years Ball committee and sold program ads. Your hard work and effort made it all possible. Good Job! This past weekend, some of us had the honor of being able to attend the Commissioning of the USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109) in Port Everglades.

The report was provided to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2140 (2014) on 8 January 2019 and considered by the Committee on 18 January 2019. We would appreciate it if the present letter and the report were brought to the attention of the members of the Security Council and issued as a document of the Council.

The country remains deeply fractured, with the growing presence of armed groups and deep-rooted corruption exacerbating the impact of the armed conflict for ordinary Yemenis within both Houthi-held areas and liberated governorates. Although there has been activity on some fronts, notably along the coast of the Red Sea, the ground war remains predominantly confined to relatively small areas. Most Yemenis therefore carry on with their lives within an economy broken by the distortions of conflict.
