MCAS CAMP PEMDLETON

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Camp Pendleton, located in Southern California, was established in 1942 as part of the larger Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Originally developed to support World War II training and operations, the air station has since evolved into a critical hub for Marine aviation on the West Coast. MCAS Camp Pendleton provides air support, logistics, and training facilities for a variety of rotary-wing and tiltrotor squadrons, including those operating the MV-22 Osprey and UH-1Y Venom. Over the decades, the station has played a vital role in supporting Marine Expeditionary Forces and training aviators for deployments worldwide.
