On 3 January 1961. Initially, the Marine staff and instructor personnel were carried as a detachment of Headquarters Company, MarSptBn with the student personnel being administered by the Marine Aviation Detachment, Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. On 1 September 1963, the detachment was re-designated and activated as Company “K”, MarSptBn. Company “K” was at various times responsible for two subordinate detachments: one at Defense Language Institute (DLI) at Monterey, California, and one at Goodfellow AFB, Texas, to handle the cryptologic language training at those two locations. The two detachments have since become separate Marine Corps administrative detachments.
