The history of Marine operations in the Dominican Republic in 1965
is a publication which has had a long but restricted life and it
now appears that it would be useful to give it a wider audience
interested in an excellent example of the force in readiness
concept. The history had its origin in the request of the
then-Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Wallace M. Greene,
Jr., that an account be compiled shortly after the event, when the
command diaries of the units involved became available, in the
summer of 1965. A classified chronology was prepared using the
diaries, message traffic, and other material then available, mostly
obtained through the Headquarters Marine Corps Command Center. A
narrative was begun once the chronology was completed and several
first-hand accounts of the operation had appeared in service
publications. Particularly useful were the articles "Ubique" by
Major General Rathvon McC. Tompkins, the senior Marine officer
directly involved, and "Dominican Diary" by Captain James A. Dare,
USN, who served as commodore of Amphibious Squadron 10, the Navy
organization which transported and landed the 6th Marine
Expeditionary Unit, the first American troops ashore.
The United States Marines in North China, 1945-1949 is a concise

records, interviews with participants in the operations described,
