You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''13th Marine Regiment''' (13th Marines) was an [[artillery]] regiment of the [[United States Marine Corps]]. The regiment was activated for service three times during the 20th century when the Marine Corps expanded to meet war time requirements. Originally activated as an infantry regiment during [[World War I]], the unit arrived in France before the war ended but did not participate in combat operations. It was reactivated for service in [[World War II]] as the artillery regiment for the [[5th Marine Division]].  The unit saw intense combat during the [[Battle of Iwo Jima]], participated in occupation duty in Japan and was quickly decommissioned shortly after the war. The regiment was last activated during the [[Vietnam War]] to again provide fire support for 5th Marine Division regiments supporting operations in [[South Vietnam]]. The regiment was finally deactivated on April 30, 1970, as the Marine Corps began to draw down its force structure at the conclusion of the Vietnam War.

== History ==
===World War I===
The 13th Marines was formed on July 3, 1916, as an [[infantry]] regiment.  Assigned to the [[5th Marine Brigade]], the regiment arrived in France on September 25, 1918, and served in the vicinity of [[Brest, France|Brest]].((cite web |url=https://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/usmc-in-ww1/850-a-brief-history-of-u-s-marine-corps-action-in-europe-during-world-war-i.html |title=A Brief History of U.S. Marine Corps Action in Europe During World War I |author=<!--Not stated--> |website=www.worldwar1centennial.org |publisher=  United States Foundation for the Commemoration of the World Wars |access-date= October 4, 2020))  After the war the regiment was deactivated on August 15, 1919.((sfn|Rottman|2002|pp=200)) 

=== World War II ===
On December 10, 1943, the regiment was reactivated at [[Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton]], California as an [[artillery]] unit underneath the [[5th Marine Division]].((sfn|Rottman|2002|pp=200))  Training continued at Camp Pendleton through the summer of 1944 which culminated in simulated amphibious landings on [[San Clemente Island]].((sfn|Conner|1950|pp=11))  The 13th Marines departed [[San Diego]] in August 1944 sailing for Hawaii.  Upon arrival they were housed at [[Camp Tarawa]] on [[Hawaii (island)|Hawaiʻi Island]].((sfn|Conner|1950|pp=15))  While at Tarawa the Division continued to train and incorporate lessons learned from each new amphibious landing that took place in the Pacific.  

====Iwo Jima====
The four battalions of the 13th Marines, under the command of Colonel James D. Waller, took part in the [[Battle of Iwo Jima]].  Reconnaissance parties and [[Artillery observer|forward observers]] for the regiment came ashore at Red Beach 2, 1500 yards north of Mount Suribachi in the 5th wave at 0922 on D-Day to scout out artillery positions before the battalions arrived.  At that time, most of the positions that had initially been identified were still in enemy hands. At 0935 the Japanese opened their vicious attack of machine guns, mortars and artillery. 3/13 came ashore first on the southern beaches at 1400, followed by 2/13 at 1430, 1/13 at 1645 and 4/13 at 1930.((sfn|Bartley|1954|pp=58))  Early on the morning of February 21, 1/13 and 2/13 dispersed an enemy counterattack that had been building up in front of the [[1st Battalion, 27th Marines]].((sfn|Bartley|1954|pp=65))  

The [[M101 howitzer|105mm howitzers]] from 3/13 were in direct support of the [[28th Marine Regiment]] as it wheeled south on the morning of February 21 to secure [[Mount Suribachi]].((sfn|Bartley|1954|pp=69–70))((sfn|Hammel|2006|pp=105))  On the evening of February 28 at 0215 in the morning the 5th Marine Division [[ammunition dump]] was hit causing a massive explosion and subsequent fire.  Marines from H&S Battery, 13th Marines and the [[5th Engineer Battalion]] were responsible for eventually getting the blaze under control.((sfn|Bartley|1954|pp=131))  As the end of the battle neared many of the infantry battalions were critically low on personnel.  Marines from H&S Battery and 1/13 and 2/13 were provided to the [[28th Marine Regiment]] to help serve as replacements for the infantry battalions.((sfn|Bartley|1954|pp=147)) 

The regiment participated in the occupation of southern Japan and in particular Kyushu for several months.

Upon returning from overseas the regiment was again placed in an inactive status on January 12, 1946.

=== Vietnam War ===
((see also|Battle of Khe Sanh))

The 13th Marines were reactivated on May 1, 1966, for service during the [[Vietnam War]]. In August 1966, the 13th Marine Regiment was deployed to [[South Vietnam]]. Battery "A" 1–13 participated in amphibious operations as part of Special Landing Force (SLF) 26 and later BLT 1–26 in support of the [[1st Battalion, 26th Marines]]

== Insignia ==
The insignia of the 13th Marine Regiment is that of the 5th Marine Division, differenced by adjusting the charges to surmount crossed artillery cannons all below a banner of gold inscribed "THIRTEENTH MARINES" of scarlet and a 1936-type Marine Corps emblem of gold in the chief (top) of the shield.
