Sergeant Major Archie L. Robinson USMC (Ret)

Archie Lee Robinson was born on February 25, 1929 in Rayville, Louisiana to Mitchell Robinson and Terrell Mayes Robinson. After a long and distinguished military career, Sergeant Major Archie Robinson passed away on Sunday, December 23, 2018. He was 89.

Robinson enlisted into the Marine Corps on 9 October 1946, and completed recruit training at Montford Point, North Carolina. Upon graduation, he was assigned as an Assistant Drill Instructor responsible for transporting recruits between training events. In 1947, he attended Steward & Cook School, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. In 1947, Sergeant Major Robinson was transferred to Marine Corps Air Station Hawaii for duty as a steward and subsequently to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in 1948.

Sergeant Major Robinson hated his duties as a Steward and when his unit embarked aboard ship in 1949, he purposely made mistakes and dropped things while serving in the Commissioned Officers Ward Room. He was quickly reassigned to washing dishes and cleaning state rooms on ship. Sergeant Major’s dissatisfaction with his assignment was noticed by an observant Officer, a Captain Lebow, who promised to get Sergeant Major Robinson a change of military occupation specialty (MOS).

Sergeant Major Robinson re-enlisted in 1949 after confirming his change of MOS and in 1950, he was transferred to Marine Barracks Philadelphia and subsequently to the Marine Barracks Naval Ammunition Depot in Hawaii, the last Marine Corps unit to integrate African-American Marines. After two requests to be transferred to a combat unit in Korea, Sergeant Major Robinson was transferred to Camp Pendleton, California for Advanced Infantry Training. Upon graduation, he transferred to Korea for duty with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines as a Rifle Platoon Sergeant.

On his birthday, February 25, 1953, Sergeant Major Robinson was severely wounded and evacuated to the hospital ship, USS Consolation and eventually to Naval Hospitals San Diego and Oakland for further treatment. Upon release from medical care, Sergeant Major Robinson was assigned to Marine Barracks Treasure Island, California, where he processed Marines returning from overseas.

From 1956 – 1960 Sergeant Major Robinson was assigned as an Infantryman at Camp Pendleton, California and Okinawa, Japan. In 1960, he returned to Camp Pendleton and served as a Weapons Instructor. In 1962, he was transferred to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina for duty as a Rifle Platoon Commander and Company Gunnery Sergeant with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines.

In 1965, Sergeant Major attended recruiter school and upon graduation he was assigned to Recruiting Station Los Angeles, California. In 1968, he was transferred to Vietnam where he served with 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines from 4 April 1968 – 23 July 1969. Upon completion of his combat tour, Sergeant Major Robinson returned to Recruiting Station Los Angeles for duty as the Station Sergeant Major. In 1973, Sergeant Major was transferred to 3rd Marine Division in Okinawa Japan.

In 1974, Sergeant Major Robinson returned stateside and was assigned to the 4th Marine Corps District in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he served as the Battalion Sergeant Major for the 14th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division until his retirement on 1 November 1976.

Sergeant Major Robinson settled in Colorado and accepted a position at Adams City High School, Marine Corps JROTC as the Marine Instructor for the 1979 school year and remained until his retirement in 1995. He was also involved with numerous military and patriotic organization as well as the Naval ROTC Program at University of Colorado-Boulder where he annually attended the Sea Services Ball as well as Officer Commissioning ceremonies each spring.

In 2012, Sergeant Major Robinson was awarded the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Congressional Gold Medal as one of the original Montford Point Marines. President Obama signed legislation in 2011, recognizing the Montford Point Marines’ contributions to the Marine Corps and the United States of America from 1942 to 1949, during a time of hardship and segregation. On 10 November 2014, the Air Rifle Range at Adams City High School was dedicated in his honor as “Robinson Range.”

Sergeant Major Robinson was a warm and giving man, a Marine’s Marine, who will be fondly remembered by all whose lives he impacted through his time as a Marine, JROTC Instructor and as a patriotic American.

Sergeant Major Robinson’s military awards include the Silver Star Medal, Bronze Star Medal with Valor, Purple Heart with star for subsequent award, Navy Unit Commendation Medal, Victory Medal World War II, National Defense Service Medal with 1 star, Korean Service Medal with 3 stars, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with 6 stars, United Nations Service Medal, Korean Presidential Unit Citation, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, Good Conduct Medal with 7 stars, and numerous Letters of Appreciation.
