Naval Base Coronado
Naval Base Coronado (NBC) is a consolidated Navy installation encompassing eight military facilities in southern California, stretching from San Clemente Island, located 70 miles west of San Diego, to Mountain Warfare Training Camp Michael Monsoor and Camp Morena, located 60 miles east of San Diego.
In 1997, Naval Base Coronado was created, incorporating eight separate Naval installations under one Commanding Officer. Those facilities include: Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI); Naval Amphibious Base Coronado (NAB); Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach (NOLFIB); Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island (NALFSCI); Silver Strand Training Complex (SSTC), formerly known as the Naval Radio Receiving Facility; Mountain Warfare Training Camp Michael Monsoor (MWTCMM); Camp Morena; and the Remote Training Site, Warner Springs (RTSWS).
These eight facilities encompass more than 57,000 acres (230 km2) and make NBC the largest command in the southwest region of the U.S.
Employing over 36,000 military and civilian personnel, NBC accounts for over 30% of the Region's total workforce, and has the largest workforce in San Diego County.[citation needed]

A barracks building on the Naval Amphibious Base resembles a swastika symbol from the air. This was realized shortly after the 1967 groundbreaking, but no action was taken as the building was in a no-fly zone that would not be seen by passengers of commercial airlines. In 2007, members of the public noticed the shape in aerial views of Google Earth and the Navy announced plans to spend $600,000 on “camouflage” landscaping and rooftop adjustments.
