第二次世界大战中的海军陆战队第四师

现役海军陆战队预备队的主要地面组成部分是海军陆战队第四师，即舰队海军陆战队。这个师在第二次世界大战中的战斗记录堪称典范；在短短的一年时间里，它参加了四次重大的两栖攻击，并赢得了两次总统提名。现在在其部队服役的预备役军人对其战斗记录的兴趣促使这部简史重新出版，最初出版于1945年8月，1974年重印。这份新的再版包含了预备役第四师的简史，由美国海军陆战队第25舰队前成员约瑟夫·B·鲁斯上校撰写。还包括该师的血统和荣誉、指挥官名单、部队及其所在地的名单。

The 4th Marine Division in World War II
The major ground component of the active Marine Corps Reserve is the 4th Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force. The combat record of this division in World War II was exemplary; in the short space of one year it participated in four major amphibious assaults and won two presidential citations. The interest in its battle record among the reservists who now serve in its ranks has prompted the republication of this brief history, originally published in August 1945 and reprinted in 1974. This new reprint contains a brief history of the reserve 4th Division, written by Colonel Joseph B. Ruth, USMCR, a former member of the 25th Marines. Also included are copies of the division’s lineage and honors, a list of its commanders, and a list of its units and their locations.
