It has continued to maintain operationalexcellence throughout the Division by facilitating increased Combined Arms training at all levels, increasingMobilization Readiness by planning and conducting Deployment Exercises, and focusing the CommandInspection Program on increasing the operational readiness of units. The Division Staff continuously evalu-ates and provides substantive solutions to the problems of retention and attrition in the Division's ranks andprovides OPTEMPO relief of the Active Duty Component by Reserve Units, and Active Duty and ActiveReserve support of the Division.
The Staff has continued to take a proactive roll in improving the quality of life throughout the Division,and has taken the lead in addressing the myriad of initiatives to improve the Total Force. These initiativesinclude revising and improving the CAX program, artillery modernization and reorganization, addressing thereconnaissance problem, and the reserve unit affiliation initiative.
The Staff oversees the Division's contributions to the local community through outreach programs thatincrease the community's awareness of the Marine Corps and enhance the Corps' visibility and image. Tothis end the Staff has assumed the point in the newest mission of the Marine Corps Reserve, that of CivilSupport Operations.

4th Marine Division Medal of Honor Recipients
The first formal system for rewarding acts of individual gallantry by the nations fighting men wasestablished by General George Washington on August 7, 1782. Designed to recognize "any singularlymeritorious action," the award consisted of a purple cloth heart, and was called the badge of militarymerit. Records show that only three persons received the award: Sergeant Elah Churchill, SergeantWilliam Brown, and Sergeant Daniel Bissel Jr.
Although the Badge of Military Merit fell into disuse after the Revolutionary War, the idea of adecoration for individual gallantry remained through the early 1800s. In 184Z after the outbreak of theMexican War a "certificate of merit" was established for any soldier who distinguished himself in action. Nomedal went with the honor. After the Mexican-American War, the award was discontinued, which meantthat there was no military award with which to recognize the nationis fighting men.
Early in the Civil War, a medalfor individual valor was proposed to General-in-Chief of the ArmyWinfield Scott. Scott, however, felt that medals smacked of European affectation and killed the idea. Themedalfound support in the Navy, where it was felt that recognition of courage in strife was needed.President Abraham Lincoln signed Public Resolution 82, containing a pro vision for a Navy Medal of Valor,into law on December 21, 1861. The medal was to be bestowed upon such petty officers, seamen,landsmen, and marines as shall most distinguish themselves by their gallantry and other seamanlikequalities during the present war." Shortly after this, a resolution similar in wording was introduced onbehalf of the Army. Signed into law on July 12, 1862, the measure pro vided for awarding a Medal ofHonor "to such non-commissioned officers and privates as shall most distinguish themselves by theirgallantry in action, and other soldierlike qualities, during the present insurrection."1

Exposed to relentless hostile fire, he coolly reorganized his battle-weary men,inspiring them to heroic efforts by his own valor and leading them in an attack on the critical,impregnable high ground from which the enemy was pouring an increasing volume offire directlyonto troops ashore, as well as amphibious craft in succeeding waves. Constantly in the front lineencouraging his men to push forward against the enemy's savage resistance, Colonel Chambersled the 8-hour battle to carry the flanking ridge top and reduce the enemy's fields of aimed fore,thus protecting the vitalfoot-hold gained. In constant defiance of hostile fire, while reconnoiteringthe entire Regimental Combat Team zone of action, he maintained contact with adjacent unitsand forwarded vital information to the Regimental Commander. His zealous fighting spiritundiminished, despite ternfic casualties and the loss of most of his key officers, he againreorganized his troops for renewed attack against the enemy's main line of resistance and wasdirecting the fire of the rocket platoon, when he fell, critically wounded. Evacuated under heavyJapanese fire, Colonel Chambers, by forceful leadership, courage and fortitude in the face ofstaggering odds, was directly instrumental in insuring the success of subsequent operations of theFifth Amphibious Corps on Iwo Jima, thereby sustaining and enhancing the finest traditions of theUnited States Naval Service.

duty while serving as leader of a Machinegun Section of Company B, First Battalion, Twenty-thirdMarines, Fourth Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces during the assault onIwo Jima in the Volcano Islands, 19 February 1945. Assailed by a tremendous volume of small-arms, mortar and artillery fire as he advanced with one squad of his section in the initial assaultwave, Sergeant Cole boldly led his men up the sloping beach toward Ailfield No. 1 despite theblanketing curtain offlying shrapnel and, personally destroying with hand grenades two hostileemplacements which menaced the progress of his unit, continued to move forward until amerciless barrage of fire emanating from three Japanese pillboxes halted the advance. Instantlyplacing his one remaining machine in action, he delivered a shattering fusillade and succeeded dinsilencing the nearest and most threatening emplacement before his weapon jammed and theenemy, reopening fire with knee mortars and grenades, pinned down his unit for the second time.Shrewdly gaging the tactical situation and evolving a daring plan of counter-attack, SergeantCole, armed solely with a pistol and one grenade, cooly advanced alone to the hostile pillboxes.Hurling his one grenade at the enemy in sudden, swift attack, he quickly withdrew, returned to hisown lines for additional grenades and again advanced, attacked, and withdrew. With the enemyguns still active, he ran the gauntlet of slashing fire a third time to complete the total destruction ofthe Japanese strong point and the annihilation of the defending garrison in this final assault.Although instantly killed by an enemy grenade as he returned to his squad, Sergeant Cole hadeliminated a formidable Japanese position, thereby enabling his company to storm the remainingfortifications, continue the advance, and seize the objective. By his dauntless initiative, unfalteringcourage, and indomitable determination during a critical period of action, Sergeant Cole served asan inspiration to his comrades, and his stout-hearted leadership in the face of almost certain deathsustained and enhanced the highest tradition of the United States Naval Service.

duty as a Platoon Sergeant attached to Company A, First Battalion, Twenty-fifth Marines, FourthMarine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands, 21February 1945. Shrewdly gaging the tactical situation when his platoon was held up by a suddenbarrage of hostile grenades while advancing toward the high ground northeast of Airfield No. 1,Sergeant Gray promptly organized the withdrawal of his men from enemy grenade range, quicklymoved forward alone to reconnoiter and discovered a heavily minded area extending along thefront of a strong network of emplacements joined by covered trenches. Although assailed byfurious gunfire, he cleared a path leading through the minefield to one of the fort ifi cations, thenreturned to the platoon position and, informing his leader of the serious situation, volunteered toinitiate an attack under cover of three fellow Marines. Alone and unarmed but carrying a hugesatchel charge, he crept up on the Japanese emplacement, boldly hurled the short-fused explosiveand sealed the entrance. Instantly taken under machinegunfirefrom a second entrance to thesame position, he unhesitatingly braved the increasingly vicious fusillades to crawl back foranother charge, returned to his objective and blasted the second opening, thereby demolishing theposition. Repeatedly covering the ground between the savagely defended enemy fort flcations andhis platoon area, he systematically approached, attacked and withdrew under blanketing fire todestroy a total of six Japanese positions, more than 25 troops and a quantity of vital ordnancegear and ammunition. Stouthearted and indomitable, Sergeant Gray had sin glehandedlyovercome a strong enemy garrison and had completely disarmed a large minefield before finallyrejoining his unit. By his great personal valor, daring tactics and tenacious perseverance in the faceof extreme peril, he had contributed materially to the fulfillment of his company mission.

Employing his weapon with ready accuracy when his platoon washalted by overwhelming enemy fire on 26 February, he first destroyed two hostile machinegunpositions, then attacked a large blockhouse, completely neutralizing the fortflcation beforedispatching the five-man crew of a second pillbox and exploding the installation with a terrificdemolitions blast. Moving steadily forward, he wiped out an earth-covered nfie emplacement and,confronted by a cluster of similar emplacements which constituted the perimeter of enemydefenses in his assigned sector, fearlessly advanced, quickly reduced all 6 positions to a shambles,killed 10 of the enemy, and enabled our forces to occupy the strong point. Determined to widenthe breach thus forced, he volunteered his services to an adjacent assault company, neutralized apilibox holding up its advance, opened fire on a Japanese tank pouring a steady stream off bulletson one of our supporting tanks, and smashing the enemy tank's gun turret in a brief but furiousaction culminating in a singlehanded assault against still another blockhouse and the subsequentneutralization of its firepower.

Caught in heavy enemy nfie and machinegun fire which wounded a corpsman and 2 ofthe 8 stretcher bearers who were carrying 2 wounded Marines to a forward aid station on 15March, Pierce quickly took charge of the party, carried the newly wounded men to a shelteredposition, and rendered first aid.
