marine barracs alameda ca.

Marine Barracks Alameda, located at the former Naval Air Station Alameda in California, was established in the early 1940s to provide security, law enforcement, and support for naval operations during World War II. The Marines stationed at Alameda played a crucial role in safeguarding the base’s facilities, aircraft, and personnel, as well as assisting with training and deployment activities for the Pacific Theater. Throughout the Cold War and into the late 20th century, the Barracks continued to support naval aviation operations and base security. The unit was deactivated following the closure of NAS Alameda in 1997 as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.
