There's a lot of information that could go on this page. History, relevance to ongoing operations, and information about sister units in the Marine Corps are all things that could be added. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wooby (talk • contribs) 00:37, April 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] United States Marine Corps

Looking for further explaination on info added to the Civil Affairs article under the United States Marine Corps Section
"In April 2006, the United States Marine Corps realigned their Military Occupational Specialty structure to permanently create enlisted and officer Civil Affairs MOSs.[1]
The Marine Corps had Civil Affairs MOS long before April 2006. So what exactly has changed since April 2006? FieldMarine 19:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Correction on 1st CA unit in Iraq

The 422nd Civil Affairs Bn. was the first unit into Iraq supporting the 3rd Infantry Division crossing the berm that night of the invasion. I was with 3/7 Cavalry that spear headed the invasion and was the first civil affairs team into Iraq and helped liberate Iraq. My battalion also organized and ran the city of Baghdad before any local government or CPA was formed to take over. ----  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.55.2.50 (talk) 06:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC) 

[edit] re: Correction on 1st CA Unit in Iraq

While that may be true, according to the Department of Defense Adjutant General Website, the meritorious unit citation for the 411th CA BN reads that they were the first reserve CA unit to enter Iraq and the first to return for a second rotation. You would need to cite a source stating the 432nd was the first unit in, that doesn't not violate WP:OR. MrPrada (talk) 06:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
