in the marine corps there were timetables of the supercheap from chicago to los angeles and awards. and then as platoon rosters for canal and saipan as well as tarawa. so look at the one from saipan for the cyber platoon and i started to check out the names on the roster. and here in the center using the name william f in a full. it was curious because dan had a buddy that we would see every winter when data would winter in arizona and his name was this and funny you could always identify the marine buddies because they only went by their last names of the nicknames. and they were would've the same was. they never seem to have a first name. and this is what the lieutenants and it turns out that this was the sergeant on saipan bill knuple. it never struck me strange at the time but whenever bill wanted to bring up topics of world war ii, like saipan canyon or don evans or martin - all of that and had data at a safe bill, those days are over. and bill would complacently comply. in units like an 80 -year-old man, they still had that sort of unspoken relationship of sergeants to the lie

due to the expeditionary nature of ncis support to navy and marine corps forces around the world, ncis now requires all special agents receive mandatory d.o.d. sexual assault training at the add-on academy for law enforcement training center. this allows us to leverage the full versatility of the criminal investigator job series, ensuring immediate response to allegations of sexual assault anywhere in the world at any time, both at sea and ashore. this great agility comes with long-term risks associated with this unrelenting operational tempo. the degradation of support to other critical missionaries and highly experienced investigators. departmental and service leadership is well aware of this and is carefully working with ncis to manage this risk. following the release of the ft. hood independent commission report, ncis undertook careful review. while this review is ongoing the majority of the report did not speak to ncis structure, we did determine there were many recommendations and areas for our improvement and focus. members of this committee, i thank you for the opportunity to p

>> that's correct. >> were you a part of the marine corps? >> yes, i was. >> that means you enlisted yourself, you weren't drafted. >> that is correct. >> right. then when were you enlisted -- when did you enlist? >> i was in college in william and mary and i enlisted december the 12th, 1942. >> when did you arrive in korea and where did you arrive to? >> i arrived in korea on the peninsula. prior to that, i went to an artillery school at fort seal, oklahoma, and i studied what i would be doing in korea which was surveying and flash and sound ranging which meant that we had estimates that could see flashes of guns and mortars and we had microphones that we put in the ground and we could hear the sound and we could analyze and trian guchltlate where they were coming from. if we saw a flash of a gun, we called that an "a" reading. if we saw the smoke of a gun without a flash, we call that a "b" reading. if we saw a glow on the horizon, that was a "c" reading. and i did that most of the time i was in korea. on the second tour, i was there twice.

was obvious he was a colonel in the marine corps but world war ii or something he never talked about but then he made a left turn and talked about the first time with frank tachovsky from the university of wisconsin madison. this young fellow was there as naval rotc candidate there was a marine sergeant but one day he saw the sergeant and was and on - - and characteristically happy and then it happened a couple more times and then woke up to the sergeant said excuse me how do you know frank tachovsky he said that's lieutenant t13 to you and when you speak to him you do with respect. he was our platoon leader when a japanese tank broke through our lines and we had no weapons to fight. we thought we were goners because the tank kept advancing putting down machine gun fire and we that we were gone then out of the corner of my eye there is a solitary figure that shoots a bazooka and kills the crew inside and that was the lieutenant. he save my life that day and everybody in the platoon so when you speak of him you do it with respect. needless to say you get her hear a pin drop on the car

what you guys do now is that you can find a thing better to do the truth of the matter is the marine corps has no business in relocating an alaska native village that's not what we do but what we do we do is train our brains and sailors and the other service personnel involved in expeditionary engineering projects and to do something so far away from home if you will in the remote alaskan tundra in a difficult place to get to by boat by air every kind of way this is exactly the type of challenge training opportunity i think it's a good thing for the region it's a good thing for. the residents to really see the start of this. is going to take a while it's not happening fast enough but you know to have all the assets the united states government involved in this project is pretty amazing. i'm glad it's here. that is. the most favorable conditions i think. i percent subsistence lifestyle because they didn't have access to a star they still live water they have cleaner water and their water has been a challenge in newtok. boil water notice for over 10 years and so having access to clean drinki

and you look at the marine corps memorial, a statue of the raising of the flag. you look at the m1 carbine's the marines are carrying in that statute. everyone has a bayonet lug. that's not possible. they were using carbines that either have that barrel band or that barrel band but no bayonet lugs. the final weapon that we will be considering, i saved the best for last. the m1 grand. general george patton said this was the best battle instrument ever devised and he was right. this helped win the war. it had its deficiencies, i have already mentioned the clip loaded into it. basically, you had to fire the eighth round before you could reload it. this one is very very special. it is called a gas trap grand. from these -- these were made from august 1937 to august 1940. there were roughly over 51,000 of these made. they were later converted to a different configuration. for only about 24 of these in original condition left today and this is one of those. what's the difference between a gas port and a gas trap? you will notice that the muzzle on this actually has a ca

and after about a year and a half, he surprised his parents and joined the marine corps. came home one day and told them he joined the marine corps and he went to camp pendleton and trained as a scout sniper. he deployed to afghanistan once, came home and his unit got orders to deploy again. and he said that the unit needed to someone to go with them who had been there before. despite his reservations about the war and despite the fact he did not have orders, he went again a second time. on that second tour he was killed in a horrific friendly-fire accident. so, his father created my position in his memory. he had said that he wanted to come home, finish his history degree and become a history professor. and so i have the honor of teaching war, conflict and society at tcu in the name of a student who really wanted to do that. and his dad said that he sponsored -- he sponsors all kinds of events in our program and he said he does that because he knows the cost of war on society and he wants other people to think about that. and so i think here at the fdr library, it's a wo

the lives of the people you lead and a lot of people don't know this there is no united states marine corpsacademy the marines go to the naval academy. so some 20 to 25% of our graduates each year at the naval academy going to the marine corps and they particularly interested in the civil war. so my classes would have perhaps half of the students would be those who intend to go into the marine corps. and so they're thinking about leadership and their responsibility for the the men and women that they will lead in terms of so, i i really don't have to understand that a whole lot. i think the numbers caroline points out in the jack makes emphasizes our painful to them because of that background. so so that's one thing. i think it's selling the human cost of the civil war to that particular group of students is less of a lift perhaps at the naval academy, then it might be elsewhere, but i want to follow up to on something that caroline said about running a class and that is pauses silences. you know, i i had to train myself to shut up so often because my instinct is to keep talking to them and

are there plans to spin off the marine corps to fix that problem?th >> there's no plans.we have a professional dedicated affairs team i couldn't be more proud of. what came into the space force space engineering and space acquisition, cyber, being able to defend the satellite -- from satellite attack. plus we are building anin intelligence career field. we are also building software coders so there will be six when it's said and done and all of the rest of that support the space force will remain in the air force, so medical, lawyers, all the support and public affairs all remain in their force. having said that, we have a dedicated team of air force public affairs folks that are dedicated to the mission and i wille tell you it's the best tem i've been associated with and we are really proud of them. >> this question comes from john donnelly at congressional quarterly. will there be an academy comparable to the air force academy? >> there is no need to have a separate academy. what we are doing is very similar to what thewh marines do at the naval academy. and so, we have

in the marine corps, no one cares what race you are. they just care how good of a marine you are. that is the ethic that we all want throughout our nation. it goes to the idea of common service as well. we have an undersecretary nominee up for his position, secretary of policy, who declared that there was systemic racism within the ranks of the military. that was his quote. the question about it said that is a broad statement to make. do you have any data to back that up? he didn't? so i am just wondering first, very quickly, you can say yes or no. and all your meetings with the military and communities and people who have served and others, did you see any actual data that there is systemic racism within the ranks of the military? >> thank you for the question, senator. as we traveled the nation and spoke with officers and the general public, the one thing that resonated was the fact that people wanted an opportunity to serve, especially in the military. when you look at bringing people together as we do in military training. they look at the people to their left and right and ca

are there plans to shift that like the marine corps? general raymond: no. there's no plans. we have a very professional, dedicated public affairs team and i could not be more proud of them. what came into the space force were career fields that were purpose built for space priority, space operations, space engineering, cyber, being able to defend our allies from cyberattack. we're building an intelligence career field. we're also building some software coders. so there will be six when we're all said and done, career fields. all the rest of the fwoeks that are in -- folks that are there will be in the air force. civil engineers. medical, lawyers. public affairs. all remain in the air force. now, having said that, we have a dedicated team of air force public affairs folks that are dedicated to the space mission. i'll tell you, it's the best team i've ever been associated with as it relates to public affairs and proud of them. jen: ok. a question from congressional quarterly. will there be a space force academy comparable to an air force academy? general raymond: there is no n
