Quantico Marine Base
Since 1917, Quantico has initiated Marine Corps concepts, doctrine, training, and equipment for our Corps. The Marine Corps and other branches of service look to Quantico to lead the way with technological advances as well as creative and innovative thinking for present and future battles. Quantico is also the academic platform for the Corps, from Officer Candidates School to the Marine Corps University.
Fredericksburg, VA
Fredericksburg Virginia is one of our nation's most historic cities. It was founded in 1728 and named for Crown Prince Frederick, eldest son of King George II of England. George Washington and his family made their home in Fredericksburg during the early years of our nation. There were also four major battles of the US Civil War fought in and around Fredericksburg; the Battle of Fredericksburg, Battle of Chancellorsville, Battle of Spotsylvania and Battle of The Wilderness. Over 110,000 Union and Confederate soldiers lost their lives in those four battles.
