Historical Facts

• Largest USMC Base: Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twentynine Palms is the largest Marine Corps base in the world, covering over 998 square miles in the California desert. • Established During WWII: The base was established in 1942 as a training ground for pilots and aircrews during World War II, originally known as the US Army Air Base. • Ideal Training Environment: The vast, harsh Mojave Desert terrain and weather make it ideal for live-fire exercises and large-scale combined arms training. • Home to MAGTF Training: The base is famous for hosting the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Training Command, where Marines hone their skills in realistic combat scenarios. • ITX Exercises: Integrated Training Exercises (ITX) held at Twentynine Palms are some of the most complex and comprehensive military training events in the USMC. • Historical Regiments: Units such as the 7th Marine Regiment and 1st Tank Battalion have called 29 Palms home, participating in major conflicts from WWII to Iraq and Afghanistan. • Unique Wild Life: The base is home to protected species like the desert tortoise, and Marines are trained to respect and protect the local ecosystem during exercises. • Largest Live-Fire Range: The installation boasts the largest military live-fire range in the Western United States, accommodating artillery, tanks, and aircraft. • Nickname "29 Stumps": Marines often refer to the base as "29 Stumps" due to its harsh, desolate landscape and sparse vegetation. • Hollywood Connections: The unique desert setting has attracted filmmakers, with scenes from movies like Jarhead and Transformers filmed on or near the base.
