MCAF News and Announcements
The 2/9 PME trip to Chancellorsville was made possible by a grant from the Marine Corps Association & Foundation. The MCA&F Commanders Forum Program provides funding to assist commanders in developing and providing forum opportunities specifically tailored to enhance their Marines’ and sailors’ knowledge of the operational matters from a historical, cultural or operational perspective.
The Marine Corps Association Foundation is helping to put modern-day libraries in the hands of active-duty Marines. The Foundation provided a professional library to Company C, Battalion Landing Team 1/4, 13th MEU, that included both paper copies of professional books and Kindles already loaded with professional reading.
MCA&F provides a replica of the Zembiec Trophy for display in the San Jose Military Entrance Processing Station Ceremony Room in honor of the late Capt Matthew Manoukian.
