Marine Corps Base

The Corps' Combat Development Command, which develops strategies for Marine combat and makes up most of the community is based here. It has a budget of around $300 million and is the home of the Marine Corps Officer Candidates School. The Marine Corps Research Center at Quantico pursues equipment research and development, especially telecommunications, for the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps Brig is also located at Quantico.

The FBI Academy, and the principal training facility for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are also located on the base.

There's always something going on around Quantico.

The museum replaces both the Marine Corps Historical Center in the Washington Navy Yard, which closed on July 1, 2005, and the Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum in Quantico, Virginia, which closed on November 15, 2002.[2] [3]
A public-private venture, the museum is a cooperative effort between the United States Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. The Foundation manages the museum operation, while the museum building will be donated to the Marine Corps.
Designed by Curtis W. Fentress of Fentress Architects, the museum's exterior is meant to "evoke the image of the flag raisers of Iwo Jima," an image that is also preserved by the Marine Corps War Memorial.
The museum is 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2), and is open to the public with free admission.
[edit] Marine Corps Heritage Foundation
Established in 1979, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that supports the historical programs of the Marine Corps. In 1999, the Foundation expanded its mission to include the creation of the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
[edit] Heritage Center
The National Museum of the Marine Corps is designed to be the centerpiece of a complex of facilities called the Marine Corps Heritage Center.[4] This multi-use, 135-acre (0.55 km2) campus includes the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park and Semper Fidelis Chapel; a demonstration area with parade grounds; hiking trails and other outdoor recreational offerings; a conference center and hotel; and an archive facility to restore and preserve Marine artifacts.
The chapel, designed by Fentress Architects, was completed in 2009 with a $5 million donation from a retired Marine.[5]
[edit] Exhibits
The museum features the following permanent exhibits, which were designed by Christopher Chadbourne and Associates:
Leatherneck Gallery
Legacy Walk
Making Marines
World War II
Korean War
Vietnam War
On June 5, 2010 the following three exhibits were opened:
Defending a New Nation (1775-1865)
Age of Expansion (1866-1916)
World War I (1917-1918)
The museum also includes class rooms, a theater, a gift shop, a bar and a restaurant.
