Albany Marine Corps Logistics Base
|
|
| A 3,500-acre supply and repair center for the Marine Corps' East Coast and Atlantic Ocean operations. Employing over 4,000 people, the installation is equivalent in many respects to the West Coast's Barstow Marine Corps Logistics Base, near Barstow, CA. In addition to supporting Marine Corps bases stateside and overseas, MCLB Albany supports the Maritime Pre-positioning Service, which maintains the stock of the fleet of 13 Marine Corps "forward-based" (pre-positioned) supply ships, located all over the world at places like Diego Garcia Island, a busy US base in the Indian Ocean; in the Mediterranean Sea; and on Guam. These ships are stocked with weapons, amphibious vehicles, ammunition and food, to sustain 16,500 fighting marines for 30 days. They are dispatched to conflict sites to provide immediate support for the Marine Corps, which often have the first units arriving at an international US forces operation. |
