History

The unit was activated 1 August 1944 at Pearl Harbor as Headquarters and Service Battalion, 8th Field Depot, Supply Service, Fleet Marine Force, under the commanding officer 2ndLt Gordon McPherson. The unit participated in the Volcano and Ryukyu Islands campaign, most notably, the Battle of Iwo Jima from 19 February to 26 March 1945 providing logistics support to Marines on the front line. In April 1945, it was relocated to Hilo, Hawaii. The following September, the unit was reassigned to the 2nd Marine Division, and moved to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, its current home. On 13 October 1950 it was re-designated as Headquarters and Service Battalion.

On 1 April 1951, the unit was reassigned to Fleet Marine Force, Atlantic, as a part of Force Service Regiment. Personnel and equipment from the battalion participated in the landings of the 1958 Lebanon crisis, and also provided support to mobilized troops during the Cuban Missile Crisis in late 1962.

The unit provided relief in autumn 1989 to South Carolina and Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo. A month later, elements of the battalion would participate in the United States invasion of Panama. The following year, the unit would deploy to the Middle East for the Gulf War, remaining for Operation Provide Comfort until July 1991. From November 1991 to October 1994, the group supported Haitian refugee operations after the 1991 Haitian coup d'état. Disaster relief efforts from the unit supported Miami-Dade County, Florida after Hurricane Andrew in late 1992, then elements participated in Operation Provide Promise in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the summer of 1994.

In December 2002, the unit was sent to Kuwait for more local support, and would then participate in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent Iraq War. On 21 April 2006, the battalion was re-designated as Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2d Marine Logistics Regiment. The regiment provided personnel and equipment for year-long deployment tours to support Multi-National Forces West in Al Anbar Governorate. The final deployment as a regiment was in Al Taqaddum where the unit served as 2d Marine Logistics Regiment Headquarters element, and the unit deployed for its last Iraq tour in January 2009.[1]

On 1 August 2014 the regiment was re-designated as Headquarters Regiment, and then was re-designated back to Combat Logistics Regiment 27 (CLR 27) on 1 October 2018. Currently, CLR 27 supports 2d MLG and II MEF in global expeditionary operations.

gollark: Good for, I don't know, video editing and whatnot.
gollark: As I said though, I don't think it's usually the bottleneck and I do not think it would eke out more than a few seconds at most for boot.
gollark: Oh, they dropped the 970's prices? In any case other 1TB disks are available for maybe £80-£90 and NVMe ones for a little more.
gollark: Pointlessly fast because sequential IO, which is the main point of NVMe disks, is not usually the bottleneck.
gollark: One of the pointlessly fast and expensive PCIe ones, too.
