marine base

Coastal military facility

A marine base is a military installation operated by a nation's marine corps, housing troops, equipment, and support facilities.

These bases serve as operational hubs for amphibious and expeditionary forces: Camp Pendleton is one of the largest marine bases in the United States.

The term typically refers to U.S.

Marine Corps facilities, though other countries maintain similar installations.
