This book will close a curious gap in Marine history. It is hard to believe that no other volume anywhere tells the story of the Marine Corps Reserve. This Golden Anniversary edition covers the 50 crucial years from 1916, when Congress first authorized a Marine Corps Reserve, to 1966 when the 4th Marine Division/Aircraft Wing Team is an integral part of the muscle of American armed strength. The officers who worked diligently over a three-year period to research and write this volume have performed a real service. I hope that his history will be read by Marines and their friends. I started reading it as a duty and soon became very interested in the story itself. I enjoyed the book and hope that it will better inform the American people concerning the role and mission of the Marine Corps Reserve. Wallace M. Greene, Jr. General, U. S. Marine Corps Commandant of the Marine Corps
