4:10th Marines

The 4th Battalion, 10th Marines (4/10), was an artillery battalion of the United States Marine Corps, activated during World War II. Formed in 1941, 4/10th Marines provided vital fire support for the 2nd Marine Division in key Pacific campaigns, including the battles of Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian, and Okinawa. The battalion’s accurate and sustained artillery fire played a crucial role in the success of amphibious assaults against heavily fortified Japanese positions. After the war, 4/10th Marines was deactivated in 1945, but its legacy endures as part of the proud history of Marine Corps artillery.
