You Need It, We Got It

Camp Pendleton serves as a crucial component in Marine Corps training, providing over 100,000 acres of land exclusively for training, 84 live fire ranges, and four amphibious landing beaches. Assets like these are what make possible large scale training operations like Operation Dawn Blitz, strengthening our chemistry with allied nations and enabling the Marine Corps to be ready to answer our nation’s call in its time of need.
