CLB-6 Camp Lejeune

• Origins: Combat Logistics Battalion 6 (CLB-6) was activated on 13 April 2006 as part of the United States Marine Corps' ongoing restructuring to provide more agile and effective logistics support. • Location: CLB-6 is based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, a major Marine Corps installation and one of the largest military bases on the East Coast. • Support Role: The battalion provides direct support (DS) tactical logistics to Regimental Combat Team 6 (RCT-6) and other units, including transportation, supply, maintenance, and engineering. • Iraq Deployments: CLB-6 has been deployed multiple times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, conducting convoys and logistics patrols—often in dangerous and hostile environments. • Afghanistan Operations: The unit played a vital role in Operation Enduring Freedom, supporting Marine operations throughout Helmand Province and conducting resupply missions across treacherous terrain. • Female Engagement Teams: During its Afghanistan deployments, CLB-6 included Female Engagement Teams (FETs) that interacted with local Afghan women to gather intelligence and build community trust. • Convoy Security: One of the most dangerous jobs for CLB-6 was running logistics convoys, which faced IED threats, ambushes, and small-arms fire on a regular basis. • Innovative Logistics: CLB-6 Marines pioneered the use of new counter-IED technology and tactics to protect their convoys and improve supply chain security. • Humanitarian Missions: Aside from combat operations, CLB-6 has participated in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions, demonstrating versatility beyond combat logistics. • Unit Motto: The battalion’s motto is "We Deliver," highlighting its commitment to ensuring that Marines and supported units receive critical supplies and support, no matter the challenges.
