Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow
Jan. 1, 2016 | 2:18
In 1942, the Marine Corps planners chose Barstow as a secure inland site to
protect critical supplies and equipment against possible Japanese attack.
In November 1978, the Base was re-designated to its present title of Marine
Corps Logistics Base to emphasize its broad logistics support mission.

Barstow offers 3 million square feet of covered storage and
approximately 30 million square feet of open lot storage. These facilities
house half of the Marine Corps' capability for ground maintenance and
supply.

At Barstow, military and civilian personnel support Marine Corps forces west
of the Mississippi, the Far East and Asia with logistics, maintenance and
transportation. The installation ensures that equipment is stored, tested,
distributed and maintained to best support the operating forces.

The desert climate, with its low humidity and lack of precipitation, helps
preserves facilities and equipment. Cost savings are achieved from the lack
of climate control.

Barstow is located close to ground, air and rail transportation nodes to
allow for faster delivery to southwestern military installations.
