Camp Lejeune is the home of "Expeditionary Forces in Readiness" for the past 65 years, and throughout the years, it has become the home base for the II Marine Expeditionary Force, 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Logistics Group and other combat units and support commands.There are several major Marine Corps commands and one Navy command aboard Camp Lejeune. Some tenant commands include Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, II Marine Expeditionary Force, 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and the naval hospital to name a few.

Additionally, the naval hospital provides primary medical care to service members and their families stationed at Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.Today, as in the past, Camp Lejeune's mission remains the same -- to maintain combat-ready units for expeditionary deployment.To help prepare warfighters for combat and humanitarian missions abroad, Camp Lejeune takes advantage of 156,000 acres, 11 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations, 98 maneuver areas, 34 gun positions, 50 tactical landing zones, a state-of-the-art training facility for Military Operations in Urban Terrain, and 78 live fire ranges including the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.The base and surrounding community is home to an active duty, family member, retiree and civilian employee population of nearly 150,000 people. The base generates almost $3 billion in commerce each year, coming from payrolls and contracts to support the structure required to train and equip our modern Marines.Some services aboard Camp Lejeune include childcare, shopping, education, family support, hunting and fishing, dining, boating and swimming. Some facilities on base include banks and credit unions, the commissary, the library, hobby shops, fitness centers, the beach, theater and more.From the supporting infrastructure, a tradition of excellence in doing day-to-day business has evolved. From environmental programs that include a state-of-the-art landfill and water treatment system to quality of life programs that ensure Marine families are taken care of, Camp Lejeune stands out as a superior military base.Camp Lejeune is a five-time recipient of the Commander-in-Chief's Award for Installation Excellence. This award recognizes the base on a Department of Defense-level for effectively managing assets and developing quality programs to accomplish the mission of providing expeditionary forces in readiness.The service members and civilian employees who provide for the efficient management of Camp Lejeune's assets strive to ensure even grander goals are realized in the future.Love Myspace Layouts Thanksgiving Myspace Graphics Thanksgiving Myspace Comments Halloween Myspace Graphics Halloween Myspace Comments Cute Myspace Layouts Plain Myspace Layouts Alcohol Myspace Layouts Emo Myspace Layouts Dark Myspace Layouts
