History In times of peace and near war, the 10th Marines has served in Iceland, China, Japan, Lebanon, Norway and Germany, the Middle East and has a continuing relationship with the Landing Force Sixth Fleet. By 2000, the Regiment's unbroken service spans 75 years. That line from the Marines Hymn, "We have fought in every clime and place where we could take a gun," could well serve as its alternate motto: Mexico, Haiti, Santo Domingo, the Pacific islands and atolls- the Regiment has been there.
