The approval process for qualified Marines can be completed in just one or two days, and Marine reenlisting under CRP have "front-of-the-line" access to their PMOS monitor to discuss career opportunities and duty station assignments.

Last month, the first Marines were reenlisted under the Commandant's Retention Program, which makes reenlisting faster and easier for the highest-performing Marines.

Operation Hastings ended on August 3, 1966 resulting in a U.S. and South Vietnamese victory, and Marines and allied forces later established forward headquarters at Dong in northern Quang Tri Province. #Marines #VietnamWar #USMCHistory

Marines and allied forces, lifted by helicopter, patrolled aggressively towards the enemy through the thick jungle. Through heavy ambushes and close-range fire fights, Marines called in air strikes and eventually overran the enemy, forcing them to abandon their base camps.

Over 8,000 Marines and 3,000 SVA troops engaged the 324th Division, making Hastings one of the largest operations up to this point in the Vietnam War.

In response, the

#OTD in 1966, Marine reconnaissance missions at the Demilitarized Zone at the border between North and South Vietnam observed increasing numbers of troops from the People's Army of Vietnam.
