Desoto Detachment #588, 5225 26th Street West, Bradenton, Florida 34207 (941) 301-4598

MEETINGS ARE THIRD MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 1830

Greetings Marines, FMF Corpsmen, Associates and Family Members

As a new month is upon us, I hope February was as good to you and your family as it was to the Bunker.

We had a lot of good things happen last month. We had a great Super Bowl party with all kinds of food and a good time was had by all who were there. We had a great work party that waxed the floor and painted the heads, thanks to all that helped.

Bob Fields arranged a great range day on February 10th and over

20 turned out to have fun and waste ammo. We’ll be looking forward to the next range day. The targets we shot will never bother anyone again.

I would like to take the time thank one and all for their hard work during the Toys for Tots campaign. The work and time made a great Christmas for the kids in Manatee County.

Just to let everyone know, the 243rd

Marine Corps Ball is set up at IMG Country Club this year and they have come up with a new and great menu for us. We will also have a new five piece band called “Yesterdaze” play for our listening and dancing pleasure.

We will start back at Bingo Land in the middle of the month. Thanks to Gerry Vinopal and his hard work; this will bring in some new cash for the Bunker.

We have a lot of new things planned for the coming year and will need everyone’s help to make it happen.

Semper Fidelis

SENIOR MOMENT

I got my concealed weapons carry permit yesterday. In the afternoon, I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a 9mm handgun for home/personal protection. When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed. When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader! As a senior citizen, I do not get flustered often, but this time it took me a while to get my pants back on. I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear. I still don't think I looked that bad! Just need to wear underwear more often.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, CALIFORNIA

The largest Marine Corps Base in the world, Camp Pendleton, has an intriguing past filled with historical charm, herds of thundering cattle, skilled vaqueros and tough Marines all contributing to its colorful and interesting history. In 1821, following Mexico’s independence from Spain, the Califiornios became the ruling class in California. The Mexican Governor awarded land grants and ranchos to prominent business leaders.

The original name of Camp Pendleton was 'Rancho Santa Margurita y Las Flores'. It supported a thriving cattle industry. That name stayed with the ranch until it was acquired by the Marine Corps in 1942 for the purchase price of $4,239,062. It was dedicated at a ceremony attended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was named in honor of WW I Marine Corps Major General Joseph H. Pendleton who had long advocated the establishment of a West Coast Marine Corps training base.

After five months of construction, the first troops to arrive were members of the 9th Marine Regiment commanded by Colonel Lemuel Shepherd who marched with his troops from Camp Elliot in San Diego. Colonel Shepherd had graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. He fought in WW I, WW II and in Korea, rising in rank to a four star Marine Corps General and served as Commandant of the Marine Corps. He was the first Marine Service Chief to become a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Camp Pendleton is in San Diego County and covering 126,000 acres, it reaches Orange and Riverside Counties to the north, the City of Fallbrook to the east and Oceanside to the west. It has three mountain ranges and over 20 miles of Pacific Ocean beaches. The original rancho had 250 miles of roads and that number has since greatly increased. The most prominent roads have been named after Marine Corps heroes including Basilone Road and Vandergrift Boulevard. Along its northern roads permanent camps have been built. Each camp is large enough to house and train units up to regimental size. All have been named to reflect a rich Spanish heritage. Accordingly, are named Las Pulgas, San Onofre, Del Mar and Marguerita. Live firing areas have been established that include several rifle ranges and impact areas for mortar, tank and long range artillery firing. Camp Pendleton has a single runway airfield with hangars and parking areas for artillery and Naval gunfire spotting aircraft and for Marine Corps helicopters. It is the home of a complete Marine Corps Division and has a large Naval Hospital.

The M60 Patton Tank By John D’Alusio

The M60 Patton main battle tank debuted in December 1960. It replaced the M48 Patton tank (which had been armed with a 90mm main cannon), and became the primary tank of the armed forces in 1963 when the US Army deactivated the M103 heavy tank.

The M60 was developed from the M48 Patton. Although the M60 series was not classified as a Patton tank, it was most definitely a descendant of this genre of armored fighting vehicle. The tank was officially named the “105 mm Gun Full Tracked Combat Tank M60.” The M103 Heavy Tank had been armed with a 120mm main cannon. The M48 Patton had a 90mm main gun, while the M60 sported a 105mm. The M60 105mm cannon was selected following a comparative firing test on the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Participating in the test were six guns:

90 mm M41 (armament of the M48A2 although tested with the new T300E53 HEAT round), 90 mm T208E9 (a smoothbore weapon firing T320E62 APFSDS), 105 mm X15E8 (a British gun developed from the 20 pounder), 105 mm T254 (an American gun firing the same ammunition as that of the British), 120 mm T123E6 (a lightened variant of the M58), and the 120 mm M58 (armament of the M103).

The 120 mm T123E6 was preferred by the Ordnance Department because its ammunition, the same as that for the M58 gun of the M103 heavy tank, was already highly developed. The T123E6 however had a slow rate of fire as, unlike the M58 on the M103, there would be only be one loader servicing it. This led to the weapon having a max rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute vs. the T254's 7 rounds per minute, almost twice the speed of the 120mm. The cannons were evaluated on accuracy, lethality of hit, rate of fire, and armor penetration performance. Predicated on these tests, the 105 mm T254E2 was selected and standardized as the M68. Until American made tubes could be obtained with comparable accuracy, British tubes were used. The improved M60 design incorporated a Continental V-12 750 HP air-cooled, AVDS-1790-2 diesel engine giving it a maximum speed of 30mph, and extending operational range to over 300 miles while reducing both refueling and servicing. The hull of the M60, like its predecessor the M48, could be cast as a single piece or by welding smaller castings. The turret was similar to the M48A2's and was made as a single piece casting. However, it was modified to accept the new larger diameter cupola and the M116 mount for the 105 mm cannon. The hull was divided into three compartments, with the driver in front, main gun compartment in the middle, and engine at the rear. The driver looked through three M27 day periscopes, one of which could be replaced by an M24 infrared night vision periscope. The M60 was the last U.S. main battle tank to utilize homogeneous steel armor for protection. It was also the last to feature a driver escape hatch under the hull. (The escape hatch was provided for the driver, whose

top-side hatch could easily be blocked by the main gun. Access between the driver's compartment and the turret fighting compartment was also restricted, requiring that the turret be traversed to the rear).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_AV1790




The M60A1 variant was first produced in October 1962 and stayed in production until 1980. The tank featured a larger, better-shaped turret and improvements to the armor protection and shock absorbers. While the M60 continued to employ the turret based on the M48A2's, the old style turrets were not abandoned. However, an elongated turret was developed that provided improved ballistic protection. Additional space for the turret crew was also made available by mounting the cannon 5" forward. In addition to the added protection offered by this turret on production M60A1s, the upper glacis armor was increased from 3.67 inches to 4.29 inches at 65 degrees while the sides over the crew compartment went from 1.9 inches to 2.9 inches at their apex. This brought the frontal armor up to similar protection of the M103 heavy tank. The engine and power train were upgraded by the addition of the Continental AVDS-1790-2A diesel. As development of a new main battle tank stalled with problems and cost escalating quickly, the M60A1 was forced to serve longer than originally intended with production lasting over 20 years. In that time span, numerous product improvements were made. The M60A2 variant was intended as a stop-gap solution until the projected replacement by the new main battle tank (the M1). The M60A2, nicknamed the "Starship" due to its "Space Age" technology, featured an entirely new low-profile turret with a commander's machine-gun cupola on top, giving the commander an excellent view and field of fire while under armor at the cost of slightly higher profile. It featured a 152 mm (6.0 in) main gun that fired conventional rounds as well as the MGM-51 Shillelagh anti-tank missile system. Regrettably, the M60A2 ultimately proved to be somewhat of a disappointment, though technical advancements paved the way for future tanks. In 1978, work began on the M60A3 variant. It featured a number of technological enhancements, including smoke dischargers, a new flash-lamp pumped ruby-laser based rangefinder (AN/VVG-2) that could be used by both commander and gunner, an M21 ballistic computer, and a turret stabilization system. The M60A3 was phased out of US service as a training aid in 2005, but it has remained a front-line main battle tank into the 21st century for many other countries. In May 2016, a Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for the M60A3 was initiated as a cost-effective upgrade to procuring more modern tanks. Changes include increased engine power from 750 hp to 950 hp, new faster electric turret controls that were more responsive, and quieter than the previous hydraulic controls, adding the larger L44 120 mm gun along with digital fire-control and targeting systems with thermal sights, and protection enhancements of side skirts, slat armor, and likely reactive armor. The upgraded M60A3 placed the tank's performance on par with armored fighting vehicles such as the T-72 and M1A1 Abrams, while keeping training and maintenance costs down as crews are already familiar with the basic M60.

The M60-based M60 AVLB (Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge) and the M728 Combat Engi-neer Vehicle were the only variants of the M60 deployed to South Vietnam. The AVLB, com-monly referred to as the "bridge tank", was mounted on an M60 tank hull, and the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle was an M60 tank mounting a short-tubed 165 mm (6.5 in) main gun that fired a HEP round.

Late in the M60's U.S. Army service a number of prototype upgrades were evaluated. These were passed over in favor of simply producing more M1 Abrams. Due to the end of the Cold War, surplus US Army M1s were absorbed into the remaining USMC units, allowing the Marine Corps to become an all-M1 tank force at reduced cost. Except for a small number in active service, most M60s were placed in reserve, with a few being sold to US allies. The M60A3 participated in close air support trials with the F-16 in the 1980s. M60A1s are still used by the USAF for testing of ground radar equip-ment on new aircraft and for ground force adversarial work. USMC M60A1 tanks were used in Grenada and Beirut in 1983. In early February 1991, during Desert Storm, US Marines used 200 M60A1s of the 2nd Battalion drove north from Khafji, Saudi Arabia into Kuwait. In Kuwait, they encountered an Iraqi force of T-54/55, Type 69, and T-72 tanks at Kuwait City International Airport. The Marines won this battle, destroying some 100 Iraqi tanks with only one M60A1 lost.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Department of Defense Extends Online Military Exchange Shopping Privileges to Veterans

Press Operations

Release No: NR-010-17 Jan. 13, 2017

The Department of Defense announced a policy change that will extend limited online military exchange shopping privileges to all honorably discharged veterans of the military. The veterans online shopping benefit will be effective this Veterans Day, Nov. 11. While shopping privileges exclude the purchase of uniforms, alcohol and tobacco products, it includes the Exchange Services’ dynamic online retail environment known so well to service members and their families. This policy change follows careful analysis, coordination and strong public support. “We are excited to provide these benefits to honorably discharged veterans to recognize their service and welcome them home to their military family,” said Peter Levine, performing the duties for the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness. “In addition, this initiative represents a low-risk, low-cost opportunity to help fund Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs in support of service members’ and their families’ quality of life. And it’s just the right thing to do,” Levine added. The online benefit will also strengthen the exchanges’ online businesses to better serve current patrons. Inclusion of honorably discharged veterans would conservatively double the exchanges’ online presence, thereby improving the experience for all patrons through improved vendor terms, more competitive merchandise assortments, and improved efficiencies, according to DoD officials. “As a nation, we are grateful for the contributions of our service members. Offering this lifetime online benefit is one small, tangible way the nation can say, ‘Thank you’ to those who served with honor,” Levine said.

MARINE CORPS HISTORY IN MARCH 2 March 1867: Jacob Zeilin, Colonel Commandant of the Marine Corps from 30 June 1864, was this date promoted to the rank of Brigadier General Commandant, the first time Congress authorized this rank for the Marine Corps. The statute, however, was repealed in June 1874 so that the rank of Commandant would again revert to colonel upon Zeilin's retirement.

8 March 1965: The 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade landed at DaNang, Republic of Vietnam as the first U.S. ground combat troops to be committed to that conflict. The 3,500 men arrived both across the beach with Battalion Landing Team 3/9, and at DaNang Airfield with Battalion Landing Team 1/3.

11 March 1778: Marines participated the action when the Continental Navy frigate BOSTON, enroute to France, sighted, engaged, and captured the British merchant ship MARTHA. As the drum of the BOSTON beat to arms, John Adams seized a musket and joined the Marines on deck until the frigate's captain, Samuel Tucker, sent him below for safety.

13 March 1943: The first group of 71 Women Marine officer candidates arrived at the U.S. Midshipmen School (Women's Reserve) at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The Navy's willingness to share training facilities enabled the Marine Corps to begin training Marine Corps Women's Reserve officers just one month after the creation of the MCWR was announced.

17 March 1967: The first woman Marine to report to Vietnam for duty, Master Sergeant Barbara J. Dulinsky, began her 18-hour flight to Bien Hoa, 30 miles north of Saigon. MSgt Dulinsky and the other officer and enlisted Women Marines that followed were assigned to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) based in Saigon. Most worked with the Marine Corps Personnel Section providing administrative support to Marines assigned as far north as the DMZ, but two Lieutenant Colonels, Ruth Reinholz and Ruth O'Holleran, served as historians with the Military History Branch, Secretary Joint Staff, MACV.

25 March 1945: After 35 days of bitter fighting, the amphibious assault on the rocky fortress of Iwo Jima fi-nally appeared over. On the night of 25 March, however, a 300-man Japanese force launched a vicious final counterattack in the vicinity of Airfield Number 2. Army pilots, Seabees and Marines of the 5th Pioneer Battalion and 28th Marines fought the fanatical Japanese force till morning but suffered heavy casualties --more than l00 killed and another 200 American wounded. Nearly all of the Japanese force was killed in the battle.

27 March 1953: The 5th Marines, supported by the 2d Battalion, 7th Marines, in the first full day of fighting after the Chinese assault the previous evening of Outpost Vegas on Korea's western front, counterattacked to regain enemy-held positions. Companies E and F of 2/7 , down to only three platoons between them, managed to regain partial control of Outpost Vegas that day.

31 March 1801: On this date, LtCol Commandant William W. Burrows rode with president Thomas Jefferson to look for "a proper place to fix the Marine Barracks on." President Jefferson was a personal friend of the Commandant, and deeply interested in the welfare of the Corps and accompanied Burrows on horseback on the morning of 31 March. They chose a square in Southeast Washington, bounded by 8th and 9th streets, and a & I streets, because it lay near the Navy Yard and was within easy marching distance of the Capitol.
