HISTORICAL NOTE
        Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is a 246-square-mile United States military training facility in Jacksonville, NC. Its 14 miles of beaches make the base a major area for amphibious assault training, and its location between two deep-water ports (Wilmington and Morehead City) allows for fast deployments. The main base is supplemented by six satellite facilities: Marine Corps Air Station New River, Camp Geiger, Stone Bay, Courthouse Bay, Camp Johnson, and the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.
        In April 1941, construction was approved on an 11,000-acre tract in Onslow County, NC. On May 1 of that year, Lt. Col. William P. T. Hill began construction on Marine Barracks New River. The first base headquarters was in a summer cottage on Montford Point and then moved to Hadnot Point in 1942. Later that year (December 1942) it was renamed in honor of the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune.
        One of the satellite facilities of Camp Lejeune served for a while as a boot camp for Female Marines, and also Montford Point, which was used between 1942 and 1949 for the training of 20,000 African-Americans. After the military was ordered to fully integrate (1948), Montford Point was renamed Camp Gilbert H. Johnson and became the home of the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools.
        Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune, and during WWII, the US Coast Guard Detachment (December 1941 to June 1946) are the other service branches that have a permanent home aboard MCB Camp Lejuene. On 28 November 1998, the Coast Guard’s Port Security Unit Training Detachment (PSU TRADET) was reactivated aboard the base.
