That same day, Combat Logistics Battalion 23 officially uncased its colors for the first time. The newest CLB in the Marine Corps, CLB-23 is organized to echo its active duty counterparts within the USMC. Combat Logistics Battalion 23 (CLB-23) is headquartered at Fort Lewis, Washington
In June 2015, CLB-23 was designated fully operational and ready for any combat operations after the successful completion of a battalion wide Integrated Training Exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center 29 Palms, CA. The Infantry Training Exercise cumulated with 3'rd Platoon TS Co of Ft. Lewis, WA completing the Enhanced Motor Operations Course with the strongest overall combat readiness grade, and directly resulting a high battalion wide combat operational readiness rating.
In June 2018, CLB-23 assisted NATO forces in the Baltic region of Latvia and Lithuania in support of Saber Strike to build readiness and response.
