Third battalion, fourth Marines to be Cryogenically frozen
The first Marine cryogenically frozen didn't fare so well.
TWENTY-NINE PALMS, CA ‑ Third Battalion, Fourth Marines recently received orders from Headquarters Marine Corps to archive their guidon and guidon bearer Sergeant Bob Garret, along with the rest of the battalion, at the conclusion of their last OEF deployment in the Spring of 2014.
The decision to disband 3/4, also known as “Darkside,” is a small part in the hierarchical grand scheme of Headquarters Marine Corps to reduce the standing total force from 202,000 to 186,800 Marines.
"Archiving" will require the entire battalion to be cryogenically frozen.
