Marince Corps Air Station Miramar
Jan. 3, 2016 | 2:14
In use by the military since 1917, Miramar served briefly as a Marine Corps
air station from 1945 to 1947 before transitioning to the Navy. Following a
Base Realignment and Closure Committee recommendation in 1993, the
installation was transferred back to the Corps and on Oct. 1, 1997, became a
Marine Corps air station once again. Today, MCAS Miramar is the West Coast
home of Marine aviation.

MCAS Miramar is home to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, whose roughly 17,000
Marines operate the F/A-18 Hornet, KC-130J Hercules, CH-53 Super Stallion
and MV-22 Osprey from the air station.

MCAS Miramar is home to a number of the military's most state-of-the-art
training facilities. Importantly, many of these facilities are not only used
to train military personnel, but are also shared with local law enforcement
personnel and personnel from other federal, county and city agencies for
training.

The majority of MCAS Miramar's training facilities are located aboard East
Miramar, a 15,000 acre spread of hilly, chaparral desert that contains five
small-arms ranges, a nuclear, biological, and chemical training facility,
and an aircraft fire rescue training site. The land itself supports training
in land navigation, convoy operations, and related ground training
exercises.


MCAS Miramar Community:
MCAS Miramar hosts and supports a variety of community outreach events, from
fun-runs and charity events to base tours. These events give San Diegans an
opportunity to interact face-to-face with the Marines who share their
community.

As an award-winning, world-class air show, the Miramar Air Show is the
highlight of the air station's annual schedule of activities. The thrilling,
three-day event draws hundreds of thousands from around the world to witness
the finest in civilian and military aviation. The show is free for all
attendees, but funds raised though premium seating and corporate sponsors go
to quality of life projects and programs to further morale and welfare of
service members and families assigned to the air station.
