00:00.230 --> 00:01.100
- [Narrator] Since the commissioning

00:01.100 --> 00:04.293
of Marine Corps Air Station
Kaneohe Bay in 1952,

00:04.600 --> 00:06.670
the installation has grown and adapted

00:06.670 --> 00:08.660
to fulfill the many roles required of it

00:08.660 --> 00:09.803
throughout the years.

00:09.940 --> 00:12.550
Through the Vietnam War
and into the early 1990s,

00:12.550 --> 00:14.240
Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay

00:14.240 --> 00:16.473
played host to a wide variety of aircraft.

00:16.760 --> 00:20.270
F-8 Crusaders, F-4
Phantoms, and F-18 Hornets

00:20.270 --> 00:22.893
have all served tenure
aboard the Mokapu Peninsula.

00:23.090 --> 00:25.840
In 1994, the Marine Corps consolidated

00:25.840 --> 00:28.150
all Hawaii installations and facilities

00:28.150 --> 00:29.860
under a single command identified

00:29.860 --> 00:31.260
as Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

00:31.410 --> 00:33.770
Marine Corps Base Hawaii
continues in our ability

00:33.770 --> 00:36.283
to project our presence
into the Pacific theater.

00:36.670 --> 00:38.270
Marines take advantage of the unique

00:38.270 --> 00:40.493
training environment Oahu has to offer,

00:40.540 --> 00:43.030
conducting amphibious military operation

00:43.030 --> 00:45.300
on urban terrain, in jungle exercises,

00:45.300 --> 00:47.433
aboard Marine Corps Training Area Bellows.

00:48.894 --> 00:51.475
