Camp Pendleton, Virginia is a 325-acre state military reservation in Virginia Beach, Virginia, named after Confederate Brigadier General William N. Pendleton. It lies on the Atlantic coast slightly east of Naval Air Station Oceana. The operation and maintenance of Camp Pendleton is funded primarily by the federal government through the National Guard Bureau, and its primary purpose is the training of personnel and organizations of the Virginia National Guard. When the facilities are not used by military organizations, state and local civilian agencies also conduct training at the site. Its facilities include a small arms range, helicopter landing strip, classrooms, barracks, dining halls, maintenance garages, training fields, and a chapel. The Camp Pendleton-State Military Reservation Historic District was designated a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 26, 2005. In 1991 the United States Department of Defense began the Youth Challenge Program. The Virginia implementation of that program is the Commonwealth Challenge , a program with a military structure operated by the Virginia National Guard on Camp Pendleton for at risk 16 to 18 year old's. It focuses on developing, "values, skills, education and self-discipline." The at risk youths come from all parts of Virginia.
Storm Damage in Camp Pendleton
Although, we have been very fortunate avoiding a direct hit from a hurricane, we are prepared for it, In June of 2009 Virginia’s emergency forces performed a unique four-day hurricane response exercise at the Camp Pendleton State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach. Col. Rob McMillin stated. “We wanted to cause our system to fail, identify those failure points and address those gaps in capability so that if we ever have a very large-scale event that we’re able to respond effectively.”
