For a little bit of background, this Detachment would provide an opportunity for Marines in the area to join an operational Detachment near them. With this Detachment taking root, it makes the Northeast Division the only Division in the entire Marine Corps League where each of the Departments therein has their own “Member At Large” Detachment.
