The oldest and original duty of Marines is to serve aboard ships.   The Marines of Oklahoma City proudly maintain that tradition by providing a landing party for operations ashore should the need arise.
Additionally, the Marine Detachment provides for the security of the ship's missile battery as well as the ship's external security.
Spit and polish is the word when providing honor guards for visiting dignitaries as well as in providing orderlies for the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer.
