The Marines of MARFORRES Command Deck are looking to conduct a book club with We Were Soldiers Once… And Young by Hal Moore.

In their own words:

The NCOs that are sent to the Command Deck are high-performing admin and comm Marines. There is a continued need to challenge these Marines. Our work tempo is highly demanding alongside their interactions in a high visibility billet, drawing the need for structured, efficient, and focused time on PME to be developed.

We Were Soldiers Once… And Young is a landmark book of military history that offers these Marines a unique perspective into the way their skills play a role in ground combat through the legendary battle of la Drang.
