Camping San Diego Ca
USMC: during the 40s in San Diego, Ca..?
I know there was 2 USMC Bases: Camp Elliott (settled in 1940) and the other one that still is a recruit one..
Then, Camp Elliott was closed and Camp Pendletton took its place, am I right??
So, was Camp Elliot the base for 1st Division Marine? Were the Marines all sent to the new base?
I suppose I’m boring you but it’s important for me to know (for a project of mine).
according to this, it was the 2nd marines when the base opened that was stationed there, http://www.militarymuseum.org/SDMarines.html#12
there are several USMC bases in the san diego area, Camp Pendleton, MCRD San Diego, and Mirimar Air Base
