White House Presidential Staff Camp David

The White House Presidential Staff Camp David unit is a specialized military detachment responsible for the security, operations, and logistical support of Camp David, the official country retreat of the President of the United States. Established during World War II, Camp David (originally named Shangri-La) has hosted presidents and world leaders for confidential meetings and diplomatic events. The unit comprises personnel from various branches, primarily the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, working closely with the Secret Service to ensure the safety and smooth functioning of the retreat. Over the decades, their discreet professionalism has been critical during historic summits, such as the 1978 Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel.
