A BRIEF HISTORY OF CAMP PENDLETON

Sprawled over more than 125,000 acres in South California, Camp Pendleton is an important landmark in this location. The mountainous terrain here makes this base an ideal location to undertake training exercises. It was this feature that first attracted the attention of the Army and Marine Corps and prompted the establishment of the base here in 1942. In 1944, the camp was declared a permanent installation.

Two years later, Camp Pendleton became the home base of the 1st Martine Division. The camp is named after Major General Pendleton who was one of the first people to recommend setting up a defense establishment here.

PRESENT DAY CAMP PENDLETON

Several critical operations, including Operation Desert Storm, that have been successfully completed in recent times can be attributed to the thorough training that the defense personnel received at Camp Pendleton.

Many special schools are also located on base including the Marine Corps University, the Assault Amphibian School Battalion and the Field Medical Service. The base is home to several Marine Corps units such as the Marine Expeditionary Force, 1st Marine Logistics Group, 1st Marine Division, Marine Corps Installation-West, Wounded Warriors Battalion-West, 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Corps Air Station at Munn Field, Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity, Marine Aircraft Group 39, Marine Corps and Army Reserve Forces, the Navy's Assault Craft Unit 5. The base is also home to a Naval Hospital and the 1st Dental Battalion.

In line with the crackdown on sexual assault incidents in military establishments across the United States, stringent action is being taken in this regard at Camp Pendleton. In August a Lance Corporal was given 15 years of confinement, forfeiture of pay, dishonorable discharge as well as reduction of pay grade after he was found guilty of charges including sexual assault. Clearly, such charges can have far reaching consequences for the serviceman. It is in the best interests of all service personnel to understand their rights and to get legal advice and counsel from a competent Camp Pendleton Military Criminal Defense Attorney like Joseph Jordan. This ensures that their rights are fully protected if and when charges are brought about against them.
