    The 10thMarines provided howitzer batteries to assist the multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut,Lebanon,from1982
    to 1984. A suicide truck-bomb exploded at the Beirut International Airport on October 23, 1983, killing several Marines
    assigned to the 3rd Battalion.
    Also in October of 1983, a battery ofthe 3rdBattalion, 10thMarines, acted as a provisionalrifle company and participated
    in the successful elimination of a communist threat on the island of Grenada.
    In April 1988, Marine security forces deployed to the Republic of Panama. These forces came primarily from the 2nd
    Marine Division and were supported by forward observersfrom the 10th Marines. In December 1989, Task Force Semper
    Fi accomplished its objectives in Operation Just Cause.
    During Operation Desert Stormof 1991, United StatesMarine Field Artillery unitsserved proudly usingmuch ofthe same
    equipment that the United States Army Field Artillery employed. The 10th Marines and 11th Marines, along with elements
    from the 12th Marines, fought valiantly to drive Iraqi armed forces out of Kuwait. Marine artillery raids in pre-G-Day
    operations deceived and disrupted Iraqiforces operating in the defensive belts along the southwestern Saudi-Kuwaiti border.
    Subsequently, Marine Field Artillery played a vital role in driving Iraqi armed forces out of Kuwait.
    Today, the Marine Corps Field Artillery continuesits proud tradition ofserving the country with unmatched professional
    competency and indomitable spirit
