Early years
Brown was born on March 30, 1896 in Fort Whipple, Arizona. After graduation from University of Arizona in 1917, he reported for active duty in the Marine Corps on 18 June, 1917 and was commissioned Second lieutenant on the same date. His first assignment was with newly activated 11th Marine Regiment, which was sent to France in October 1918. Unfortunatelly Brown did not see combat and finally shipped back to the United States in July 1919.
After his return, he served for almost two years at Marine Barracks in Boston, Massachusetts, before he was sent to Dominican Republic, where he was assigned to the 15th Marine Regiment within 2nd Brigade of Marines. Brown was appointed Company commander within his regiment and stayed in Santo Domingo until November 1923. During his time in Dominican Republic, he also served as Aide-de-camp of Brigade commander, General Harry Lee.
