Marine Barracks Great Lakes Naval Center, Illinois
U.S. Marine Corps
Marine Barracks Great Lakes Naval Center, Illinois, was established in 1911 to provide security, ceremonial duties, and administrative support for the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, the U.S. Navy’s primary basic training facility in the Midwest. Throughout both World Wars, Marines stationed at the barracks played a crucial role in maintaining order and safeguarding naval assets, as the center trained hundreds of thousands of recruits. The unit’s responsibilities included gate security, honor guard functions, and the supervision of naval prisoners. Although the Marine Barracks was decommissioned in the mid-1980s as part of broader military restructuring, its legacy endures as a testament to the close cooperation between the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in training and readiness.

Throughout its active years, the barracks served as a base for Marine detachments supporting naval operations and coastal defense. The installation was eventually deactivated as military priorities shifted, but its legacy remains part of the rich military history of Key West and the U.S. Marine Corps.
