Note: During Desert Storm, the 11th Marines included two battalions from the 12th Marines, the 1st Battalion, 12th Marines (1/12) and the 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines (3/12). Most of the 10th Marines batteries supported the 2d Marine Division. The batteries of the 14th Marines, H Battery and I Battery, were Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) units activated for the Gulf War.

Additional Units Involved [253, 254]

The additional units listed below were not necessarily involved in 11th Marines chemical alerts. Some were directly involved in a few alerts, i.e. Task Force Papa Bear in incident Q. Others were mentioned in logs, journals, etc., and were at times located near 11th Marine positions. We list them here because they are referenced in either the 11th Marines Case Narrative or supporting documentation. A minus sign (-) indicates that only a portion of the unit was included.
