Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) – Kaneohe Bay
Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH), situated on the Mokapu Peninsula in O’ahu, Honolulu, is a significant U.S. Marine Corps facility encompassing both ground and air operations. Originally established as Naval Air Station Kaneohe Bay, it has evolved into a crucial base for Marine and Navy operations. MCBH houses units like the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment, Marine Aircraft Group 24, and Combat Logistics Company 33, along with the Navy’s Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 2.
MCBH’s historical significance dates back to 1918 when President Woodrow Wilson designated land on Mokapu Peninsula for military use. The base witnessed key historical moments, including an attack minutes before Pearl Harbor in 1941. Post-World War II, the Marines assumed control, officially commissioning it as a Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay in 1952. In 1994, several Marine installations in Hawaii were consolidated to form MCBH.
As part of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, MCBH plays a vital role in regional operations. The base also gained pop culture fame, having been used as a filming location for the movie “Battleship” in 2010. MCBH continues to be an integral part of the Marine Corps’ presence in the Pacific, supporting various military and strategic operations.
