		Although it was not until 1925, that Marine aviation appeared at all in the annual schedule of the Naval Aeronautical Organization, it had been considered from its creation as an integral part of the naval forces.
		The director of the new division served as an adviser to the Commandant on all aviation matters, and as a liaison officer between the Marine Corps and the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics.
		Aviation units, as part of our Fleet Marine Force, remain in close proximity to amphibious shipping, and stand as a constant reminder that Marines are ready and able to counter aggression in any quarter of the globe, ever assisting our Navy in extending the long arm of seapower ashore.
