Headquarters Battery 14th Marines

Headquarters Battery, 14th Marines, was first activated in 1943 as part of the 14th Marine Regiment, an artillery component of the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The unit played a pivotal role during World War II, providing command, control, and logistical support for artillery operations in the Pacific Theater, including the campaigns at Roi-Namur, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. After the war, the battery was deactivated but later reactivated in the postwar period to support training and mobilization requirements of the Marine Corps Reserve. Today, Headquarters Battery, 14th Marines, continues its mission of providing critical leadership, administration, and operational support to the regiment’s artillery battalions.
