MCMCC Camp Pendleton

The Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard (MCMCC) at Camp Pendleton was established in 1967 to represent the United States Marine Corps at public events, parades, and ceremonies nationwide. Based out of Camp Pendleton, California, the unit is unique as it is the only remaining mounted unit in the Marine Corps, showcasing Marine tradition and horsemanship. The MCMCC is renowned for riding palomino horses and maintaining strict standards of military bearing and appearance. Over the decades, they have fostered public relations and Marine Corps heritage, serving as ambassadors to both civilian audiences and military communities.
