Camp Pendleton
Located 38 miles north of downtown San Diego, Camp Pendleton covers over 250,000 acres and approximately 200 square miles of terrain. The stretch of shoreline along the base-- 17 miles -- is the largest undeveloped portion of coastal area left in Southern California.
Camp Pendleton provides training facilities for many active-duty and reserve Marines, Army and Navy units, as well as national, state and local agencies. Over 60,000 military and civilian personnel work aboard the base every day.

MCRD San Diego
Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego is one of two recruit training bases in the United States. It is home to the Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel, though the depot in San Diego has just 388 acres. MCCS supports all active duty personnel, their family members, reservists, and retired military personnel. Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego is one of the birthplaces of basically trained Marines. It is here where America's young men are transformed into Marines. Marines are forged in a furnace of shared hardship and tough training. This shared, intense experience creates bonds of comradeship and standards of conduct so strong that Marines will let nothing stand in their way.

MCAS Miramar
Miramar is a former cattle and citrus ranch that was first acquired by the military for Army Infantry Training in 1914 and was named Camp Kearny.  On 1 October 1997 Marine Corps Air Station Miramar realigned to Marine Corps Air Station bringing fighter and helicopter squadrons from El Toro.  Miramar is the Marine Corp's largest aviation facility.

NAS North Island (NAB Coronado)
Naval Air Station, North Island (NASNI) is part of the largest aerospace-industrial complex in the Navy, the 57,000-acre Naval Base Coronado. NASNI, with only its commands in the metropolitan San Diego Area, brackets the city of Coronado from the entrance to San Diego Bay to the Mexican border.  On August 15, 1963, the station, which was originally called the Naval Air Station, San Diego until 1955, was granted official recognition as the "Birthplace of Naval Aviation" by resolution of the House Armed Services Committee.

NB Point Loma
Located in beautiful sunny San Diego, California, at the mouth of San Diego harbor, Naval Base Point Loma is home to Commander, Third Fleet; Commander, Submarine Squadron Eleven; Commander, Submarine Development Squadron Five; and Commander, Military Sealift Command Pacific, as well as six attack submarines, the Third Fleet Flagship, and Submarine Training Center Detachment. The base comprises 316 acres on beautiful but rugged coastline, although the main facilities are located on approximately 30 acres of relatively flat land.

Naval Medical Center San Diego
Located on Florida Drive, adjacent to Balboa Park, Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) is the most technologically advanced Navy medical treatment facility. Nicknamed, Balboa, the Pride of Navy Medicine, the hospital has played a vital role in the history of San Diego for more than 80 years. From the original tent dispensary established in 1917, to the high-tech, ultra modern facility of the 1990s, the mission has remained constant to provide the finest medical care in a family-centered care environment to the operational forces, their families, and to those who served their country in the past.
