Detachment history.  In 1974 the detachment was reactivated at Karachi, which was now a
U.S. Consulate after Islamabad was made the capitol city and the embassy relocated.

NOTE: Detachment Update provided by Morris W. Dunger - USMC 1971/76)
 "As the original detachment departed for other assignments, we left behind a solid post and excellent community relations.  I trust the 2005 Marines are continuing to build on the foundation that was laid."
