In 1948, the Department of State (DOS) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC) came to an agreement that the Marine Corps would supply active duty Marine Corps personnel to protect classified materials, American lives and property in U.S. Diplomatic Missions worldwide.  These USMC personnel, to be designated as Marine Security Guards, would report directly to a DOS Foreign Service Officer at each mission.  
Command was HQBn, HQMC, RMO Region 3.  A Regional Marine Officer (RMO) would be responsible for several posts within each of the then four designated RMO regions.
