Three Marines here make sure their fellow Marines have everything they need.

“Pretty much everything anyone has out here came through supply at one point,” said Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Lud G. Romain, assistant warehouse chief, Combat Logistics Battalion 4, 1st Marine Logistics Group. “We have three lance corporals in the warehouse taking care of the entire battalion.”

Once the supply warehouse meets the battalion’s supply needs, CLB-4 provides direct combat logistics support to Regimental Combat Team 6.
