Journal - Page 28 - Line 27

The mission of 3/23 4th Marine Division is to provide trained combat and combat support personnel and units to augment and reinforce the active component in time of war, national emergency, and at other times as national security requires; and have the capability to reconstitute the Division, if required. The unit achieves a high state of proficiency in basic infantry skills, with a concentration on Marine Infantry Battalion crew-served weapons systems in order to activate/mobilize on short notice for employment in "any clime and place" for operations of an air-landed or amphibious force.
