WHAT AND WHERE IS CAMP LEJEUNE?

See the source image

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is a 246-square-mile
United States military training facility in Jacksonville,
North Carolina
.

Its 14 miles of beaches make the base a major area for
amphibious assault training, and its location between
two deep-water ports (
Wilmington and Morehead City)
allows for fast deployments.

The main base is supplemented by six satellite facilities:
Marine Corps Air Station New River, Camp Geiger, Stone
Bay
, Courthouse Bay, Camp Johnson, and the Greater
Sandy Run Training Area
.  

The Marine Corps port facility is in Beaufort, at the southern
tip of Radio Island (between the NC State Port in Morehead
City, and the marine science laboratories on Pivers Island
in Beaufort). It is occupied only during military port operations.

In November 2022,  it will be hosting a basketball event called
the
Armed Forces Classic
. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
