 WELCOME MARINES

 of the USMC  "HAWK"  Light Anti-Aircraft Missile (LAAM)  Battalions.   

  Since 10 November 1775, all Marines have been basic riflemen and served the Corps where needed, from cook to computer operator. For a brief period in the Marine Corps time-line 1960 to 1997, just 37 years of a 236 year history, tens of thousands of Marines served and a few died, in the Corps HAWK Light Anti-Aircraft Missile Battalions. Their unit histories may not include names like Tarawa, Iwo Jima or Inchon but the lineage of these Cold War Marine units and the Marines who answered the call to duty and deployed during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Da Nang and Chu Lai in Vietnam and around the Persian Gulf, in Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm, placed these men and women in harm's way and forever bonded their Warrior Spirit to those Marines who have come before and after.

  Marines or anyone else who can help.I'm interested in getting some good quality pictures of HAWK missiles and system equipment especially from de-ployments during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. Missile firings would be great too. We have a depository that has been created for all LAAM's related pictures, documents and stories. When you submit items please fill in the history as best you can with names,places and unit.

   My ultimate goal is to write a history of Marine Corps Missile Battalions. Thank you kindly for your help. Semper Fi !
