Camp Lejeune is home to an active duty, dependent, retiree and civilian employee population of nearly 150,000 people. The base is a three-time recipient of the Commander-in-Chief's Award for Installation Excellence.
Today Camp Lejeune boasts 14 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations. There are 54 live-fire ranges, 89 maneuver areas, 33 gun positions, 25 tactical landing zones and a state of the art Military Operations in Urban Terrain training facility. Military forces from around the world come to Camp Lejeune on a regular basis for bilateral and NATO-sponsored exercises. These include Cooperative Osprey, a Partnership for Peace exercise that involved 13 countries last year.
