Marine
Corps Base Camp Lejeune is located in Onslow county in
southeastern North Carolina. Camp Lejeune and the City of
Jacksonville are adjacent to the New River flowing to the
Onslow Beach area. Camp Lejeune occupies about 153,439 acres
with 14 miles of beach on the Atlantic Ocean.
The main entrance is just east of Jacksonville, off Highway
24. The truck entrance is further to the east at the Piney
Green gate, and there are additional entrances to the east and
south using Highway 172 in Hubert and Sneads Ferry,
respectively. Newer training areas are accessible on Highway
17 south.
Jacksonville is a military town, with a growing interest in
tourism, and has been traditionally a lower cost of living
area. Lower property values offer real estate investment
opportunities to many military members. However, property
values are on the rise, primarily near the beach and
waterways. The base operator's phone number is 910-451-1113 or
DSN 312-751-1113.
History
Camp Lejeune had its beginnings in the early 1940's, when a
selection board decided on the New River area of North
Carolina as the most ideal location for a new Marine training
base. The new facility met all the requirements for an east
coast division training center, especially with its location
near the two deep water ports of Morehead City and Wilmington.
Construction for the new camp and for its aviation
counterpart, nearby Cherry Point, began in 1941. In December
1942, the installation was named in honor of the 13th
Commandant of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant General John A.
Lejeune. Included on the installation are more than 450 miles
of roads, 6,946 buildings and facilities to support a
population of approximately 137,526 marines, sailors,
retirees, their families, and civilian employees.
Mission
The mission of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is to support
the various Marine Corps commands, a major Navy command and a
Coast Guard command as well as the Marine Corps Base (MCB)
itself. Camp Lejeune owns all the real estate, operates entry
level and career level formal schools, and provides support
and training for tenant commands. Camp Lejeune with its
various satellite camps, housing, training areas and New River
Air Station is the largest concentration of marines and
sailors in the world. From the young man or woman reporting
aboard for their first assignment to the seasoned veteran, and
from the dense foliage of woodland cover to sandy beaches and
ocean front training area, Camp Lejeune is truly the "Home of
Expeditionary Forces in Readiness."
Base
Transportation
Camp Lejeune provides three shuttle bus runs.
Sponsorship
The sponsorship program assists inbound members with their new
duty assignments. Sponsors are requested through the gaining
command by contacting the current unit Sponsorship
Coordinator. Relocation Specialists at both locations (the
transferring command and the gaining command) are ready to
assist in matters dealing with sponsorship for both the
relocating member and the sponsor.
Reporting personnel are required to report to the Joint
Reception Center (JRC), Buildings 59 and 60, located on Molly
Pitcher Road in Service "A" uniform. The phone number is
910-451-8609.
Temporary Quarters
All personnel checking into Camp Lejeune are advised to make
reservations for Temporary Lodging with the Lejeune Inn
(hostess house) or Billeting (Transient Quarters) as far in
advance as possible, since the Lejeune Inn has only 90 rooms
available. During the peak summer transfer season,
reservations are highly recommended prior to travel to the
Camp Lejeune area. The Lejeune Inn can be reached 24 hours a
day at 910-451-3041.
Relocation Assistance
A "Welcome to Camp Lejeune Brief" is conducted daily in
Building 59/60, at which time Check-Ins are completed. The
brief is required of all personnel reporting to Camp Lejeune.
Visit the Personal Readiness and Community Support Services'
Relocation Assistance Program Center, located at 40 Brewster
Boulevard, and pick up your Welcome Aboard Package. This
package includes maps, various tourist information booklets,
flyers and pamphlets about Camp Lejeune and the surrounding
communities. An Electronic Welcome Aboard Package (EWAP) is
also available upon request via email. Inquire about the use
of the Loan Locker, which provides basic household goods items
during PCS for families in quarters while their personal
household goods are still in storage or transit. Hours are
Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Relocation personnel can
be reached at 910-451-1055, 1056, and 910-449-9704.
Critical Installation Information
Quality of life construction is ongoing both on Camp Lejeune
and in the surrounding areas. Several housing areas are in the
process of being replaced and nearly all are being improved.
New construction in the entire county is also ongoing to
provide housing for additional military personnel and their
families. Due to the vast amount of construction, delays in
travel in and around the county may be expected until
completion. |
