6th Motor Transport Battalion

The 6th Motor Transport Battalion was a United States Marine Corps Reserve unit activated during the post-World War II era. Headquartered in Red Bank, New Jersey, the battalion provided essential motor transport and logistical support to Marine Corps operations and exercises, both in peacetime and during mobilizations. The unit played a notable role during the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) in 1990-1991, when its members were called to active duty to support combat operations in Southwest Asia. Over its history, the 6th Motor Transport Battalion exemplified the vital role of Marine Corps logistics in ensuring operational readiness and mission success before it was eventually deactivated.
