MCAGCC HISTORY

HISTORYUsed by the U.S. Army and Navy for aviation training during World War II, the huge tract of desert land lay dormant until the Marines took it over in 1952. Th e base was offi cially commissioned in 1957 and named the Marine Corps Training Center Twentynine Palms. Th e base was designated as the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in February 1979.MISSIONTh e Combat Center’s unique mission is to conduct relevant live-fi re combined arms training, urban operations, and Joint/Coalition level integration training that promotes operational forces readiness as well as to provide the facilities, services and support responsive to the needs of resident organizations, Marines, Sailors and their families today and tomorrow.

The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center has the largest landmass of any Marine Corps base in the world, encompassing approximately 935 square miles of the southern Mojave Desert. The Combat Center is about five miles north of the city of Twentynine Palms, CA, population 25,000,

and about 60 miles northeast of Palms Springs, population 46,000.

THRIVE IN THE DESERT

THRIVE IN THE DESERTWhether you’re backpacking in Joshua Tree National Park or simply taking a stroll around the block, thriving in the desert hinges on practicing proper desert safety. Pack water Whether you’re taking a quick trip to the Marine Mart or hiking through Joshua Tree National Park, always pack water! Layer up While you might be tempted to put on as little as possible on hot desert days, clothes are essential to keeping you cool. Clothes prevent sweat from evaporating too quickly, help the body cool itself and ward off sun exposure. Keep in mind temperatures in the desert can rise above 120°F during the day and dip below 40°F at night. Your very last line of defense is your skin. Always wear sunscreen in the desert. Even in the dead of winter, the desert sun shines bright. Protect your family’s skin from harmful rays with SPF 15 or more. Protect your children and pets Twentynine Palms is no place to keep your pet outside. Never leave your pet or child in a hot car. Even with the windows down, temperatures inside a vehicle can reach triple digits in a matter of minutes.Ward off critters Pet food, counter crumbs and dank corners are all magnets for the desert’s array of pests and predators. Constantly keep an eye on your children and pets, shake out your clothes and shoes each day and be extra careful when moving about in the dark. Don’t leave anything outside that coyotes and other critters might fi nd appetizing.

Prepare Make sure even on the shortest trips into our desert, you have enough gas in your car, plenty of water and sunscreen. You’re ready to get out and enjoy the desert!

THRIVE IN THE CULTURETh e most prominent myth of this duty station is that you’re in the middle of nowhere. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. In Twentynine Palms, you are in the middle of everything. Do you crave snowcapped mountains? Big Bear and Mount San Jacinto are only a short drive away. Are you longing to lay on the cool beach? Head over to the pristine beaches of Camp Pendleton. Maybe you just need a few hours of city lights. What better place than Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Las Vegas or San Diego, all within a three-hour drive! a

It’s been said, “You cry when you get here, you cry when you leave.” At first sight, our desert landscape may not look like much, but there is lots to love about our unique location. At MCCS, we hope to help you embrace the desert with open arms. Here are several survival

tips to help you enjoy your stay.

THRIVE DURING DEPLOYMENT Military spouses survive many uncertainties, but one thing is certain. If you are married to an active duty service member, you will experience a deployment, whether it is to foreign shores or to a distant state.

Stay connected As a spouse, you too are on a mission. To be successful in that mission, you will need to stay connected with your fellow military spouses. Th e best way to do that is to utilize the services here aboard the Combat Center. Reach out to fellow spouses through the Family Readiness Program, L.I.N.K.S., LifeSkills Program and Military OneSource. Register for MCCS’ eNews to receive information and updates about upcoming events and programs. Simply visit mccs29palms.com to sign up.

Know your FRO Th e Family Readiness Program is run by your command. Most units have a family readiness offi cer who is there to enhance the ability of the Marines and Sailors to balance their personal life, career and mission. Your FRO is responsible for offi cial communication, family outreach, information and referral and readiness and deployment support.
