The Klamath Falls Barracks were built in 1944 as a treatment and rehabilitation center for Marines returning from the Pacific Theater of Operations, especially those suffering from mosquito-borne diseases. Players were recruited from the 2,000-plus Marines undergoing treatment at the center.[1][2]
Maj. Clyde C. Roberts was the head coach and ran the team in a single wingback formation.[2] Roberts was the executive officer at the barracks and had been head coach at the Brown Military Academy in San Diego.[3]
In the final Litkenhous Ratings, Klamath Falls Marines ranked 254th among the nation's college and service teams and fourth of six United States Marine Corps teams with a rating of 29.3.[4][5]
