The vast terrain, proximity to land

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,550
and coastal training ranges
provides marines the opportunity

20
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:55,810

protection is a top concern

and train at Camp Pendleton.

38
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,060
Through partnerships
with local organizations

39
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:45,590
and regulated programs,
Camp Pendleton remains

40
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:47,220

Camp Pendleton is a
reliable source of income

49
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,900
for many Southern California residents.

Camp Pendleton supports today's fight,

51
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:13,020
and prepares for tomorrow's future.

52
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:15,280
