Thanks, couldn't find anything new there.
Actually looking for 2/2 of the 24th.
It's part of 1st Marine Division, just wanted to know if it's onshore with the rest yet.

If 2/2 is with the 24th MEU, then there is no way they could be attached to 1st MarDiv, as the MEU is based on the East coast which would make it part of 2nd MarDiv.

Ok, I only know what I have seen trying to get info. Somewhere I saw it grouped with 1st Marine div.
Last info I got he was on USS Austin 2/2 det B in and out of Kuwait before the war kicked off.

Thanks

It's the 1st MEF, not MEU, in Iraq now.  The 1st MEF is 1st MARDIV.  2/2 24th MEU is 2nd MARDIV.  I believe this is correct.

2/2 is Second Bn. Second Marine Regt. part of Second Marine Div. 24 MEU(SOC) is also made up of units from the Second Marine Div. They would or will be part of the Second MEB, which is on the ground in Iraq, if they are sent there

I went to Wilderness Medicine at the Marine Corps Mountain Wafare Training Center in Bridgeport CA in July. There were 4 corpsman in my class attached to 2/2. They went on float on or about 02AUG02 and are still over there as far as I know. This should be their 7th month on float.

I thought so.  My brother was with 2/4 2nd MARDIV in Gulf War I.

15th MEU will be going home with at least one Marine short.
