The United States Navy purchased 573 acres of land in 1942 for an auxiliary airfield for the use of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. Bogue was decommissioned on 15 June 1947 and became an Outlying Field of Cherry Point. The Marine Corps reopened Bogue as a satellite airfield for aircraft & helicopters from MCAS New River & MCAS Cherry Point due to the Vietnam War. Currently Bogue Field serves as a Marine Corps’ East Coast site for Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP).
