MCAS Kaneohe HI

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Kaneohe Bay, located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, was originally established in 1939 as a U.S. Navy air station. On December 7, 1941, it was one of the first sites attacked during the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor, suffering significant damage and casualties. After World War II, the base played a key role in supporting Pacific operations and was officially transferred to the United States Marine Corps in 1952. Since then, MCAS Kaneohe Bay has served as a crucial hub for Marine Corps aviation, training, and expeditionary operations throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
