“Happy New Year, it is time for Carry-On Detachment members to unleash their

leadership abilities during 2016. I encourage all who have not been in a leadership role

to take the Carry-On-torch and lead our Detachment towards success.”

Bo aka Bull Durham Jr

Junior Past Commandant

Carry-On Detachment 1236

Johnston County, NC

The Judge Advocate provides legal counsel and opinions on by‐laws, polices, and

parliamentary procedures

for

the

detachment.

With this being said, I will try to do my best to resolve all issues, however there is a

chain of command. Please use it.

Not everything we do needs a By‐Law, we can use a policy. Here are the difference

between the two:

"Bylaws can only be approved, changed, amended or deleted at a Detachment meeting

by the vote of members in good standing with the detachment.

Policies can be approved, changed, amended or deleted with only the elected officers of

the detachment by vote."

The officers

can

use

a policy

to

cover

things

such

as

the

good

business

award

or

fund

raising.

10 January 1995: The Pentagon announced that 2,600 U.S. Marines would be deployed to Somalia

for Operation United Shield to assist in the final withdrawal of UN peacekeeping troops from

Somalia. The decision came in response to a UN request for American protection of its peacekeepingforces serving in the war-torn African nation.

11 January 1945: The first elements of Marine Aircraft Group 24, commanded by Colonel Lyle H.

Meyer, landed at Lingayen, Luzon, Philippine Islands, to provide close air support for Army forces.

Over the next three months, MAG-24 and MAG-32 would fly a total of 8,842 combat sorties and drop

more than 19,000 bombs as part of the Fifth Air Force in support of the Sixth Army.

16 January 1991: Operation Desert Shield became Operation Desert Storm as forces of the allied

coalition launched an all-out air campaign against targets in Iraq and occupied Kuwait in an effort to

liberate Kuwait and enforce the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. Overall, in the

theater of operations, the coalition forces included more than 415,000 U.S. troops.

18 January 1951: Marines of the 1st Marine Division began mopping-up operations against guerrillas

in the Pohang area, South Korea, following the Division's return from its epic battle with Communist

Chinese troops at the Chosin (Changjin) Reservoir.

20 January 1968: The second battle for Khe Sanh began when Marines from the 3d Battalion, 26thMarines attacked a North Vietnamese battalion between Hill 881 South and Hill 881 North. More than

100 of the enemy were killed.

21 January 1918: The 1st Aeronautical Company arrived at Ponta Delgada, Azores, for anti-submarine duty. That unit was one of the first completely equipped American aviation units to serve

overseas in World War I.

22 January 1969: Operation Dewey Canyon, perhaps the most successful high-mobility regimental-

size action of the Vietnam War, began in the A Shau/Da Krong Valleys when the 9th Marines,commanded by Colonel Robert H. Barrow, and supporting artillery were lifted from Quang Tri. By 18

March the enemy's base area had been cleared out, 1617 enemy dead had been counted, and more than

500 tons of weapons and ammunition unearthed.

25 January 1856: Marines and seamen from the U.S. sloop DECATUR went ashore at the village ofSeattle, Washington, to protect settlers from Indian raids. The Indians launched a seven-hour attack

but were driven off later that day after suffering severe losses. Incredibly, only two civilian volunteers

were killed and no Marines or sailors were lost.

27 January 1988: About 400 Marines and sailors from the 2d Marine Division, 2d Marine Aircraft

Wing, and 2d Force Service Support Group deployed for the Persian Gulf. The Contingency MarineAir-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) CM 2-88 would relieve Contingency MAGTF 1-88 in the volatile

Persian Gulf and provide the effective landing force capability to Joint Task Force Middle East.

29 January 1991: The first serious ground fighting of Operation Desert Storm broke out when Iraqi

troops mounted an attack into Saudi Arabia along a 40-mile front. Iraqi units centered their efforts on

Khafji, a port city six miles south of the border. Saudi and Quatari troops, supported by artillery from

the 1st Marine Division and attack helicopters and other allied coalition aircraft, recaptured the town

two days later.
