CLB 453 Marines better equipped to support active forces
Combat Logistics Battalion 453 based out of Buckley Air Force Base, Colo., reached a final stage in the reorganization under U.S. Marine Forces Reserve to mirror active-duty counterpart units in mid-September 2013. While most of the unit is composed of Marine Forces Reserve members, the unit is supplemented by active-duty service members to maintain daily operations. As the headquarters, the unit leads approximately 1,400 Marines and Sailors at 12 sites in seven states around the U.S. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc. Carlos Villalta/Released)
