6th Communication Battalion

The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until appropriations are passed. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

Our socials may have been quiet, but our Marines have not.

Over the last few months, we’ve had a series of impactful events from our I&I Change of Command and SgtMaj Appoint and Relief ceremony, to honoring the fallen during the NYC Tunnel to Towers run and more.

We bid farewell to LtCol Koss and welcomed LtCol Russel. We wished SgtMaj Alvarez the best in his retirement, and proudly welcomed SgtMaj Boley aboard.

We’ve been putting in the work, upholding traditions, and honoring service every step of the way. Stay tuned- we’re just getting started 💪

Intrepid Ball, ‘24 📍

An unforgettable night celebrating 249 years of tradition, courage, and sacrifice. Honored to be part of this year’s Intrepid Ball alongside our Commandant and Medal of Honor recipient, Dakota Meyer.

Happy birthday to us, Devil Dogs!

To all who have served, we salute you.

This week, our illustrious gun club not only celebrated our 249th birthday, but also participated in a variety of events around the tri-state area for Veterans Week. From meeting Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and General James Mattis, to taking part in the commissioning of the USS John Basilone, to marching in the Veterans Day Parade, we’ve been proud to show our support for those who have sacrificed so much.

Happy birthday Marines, and happy Veterans Day. Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸

Huge congratulations to our very own SSgt Qualls. The transition from non-commissioned officer (NCO) to staff non-commissioned officer (SNCO) is never easy, but it’s a very important one!

Serving as the vital link between all NCOs and Officers, SNCOs consistently embody the standards we uphold.

Semper Fidelis, SSgt Qualls.
