HISTORICAL NOTE
From 1942 through July 1944 the airfield at Twentynine Palms was utilized by the US Army Air Force for primary flight training. This field was taken over by the Eleventh Naval District, headquartered in San Diego, as Naval Auxiliary Air Station Twentynine Palms, in July 1944. After the war its future was uncertain. Then on 20 August 1952, MCB Camp Pendleton Headquarters issued Post Order 343 creating the Marine Corps Training Center, Twentynine Palms. The base was redesignated on 6 February 1953, as Marine Corps Training Center, Twentynine Palms. On 1 February 1957, it was again redesignated as Marine Corps Base, Twentynine Palms, Calif. The base's name was changed to Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Training Center on 1 October 1978, and changed yet once more to Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) on 16 February 1979. On 1 October 2000, the command was redesignated as Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command, Twentynine Palms, California.
