The Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center is a training facility for Marines to learn the how to fight in all conditions. Many residents have contacted Z107.7 with concerns about coronavirus protocols on the Combat Center. Z107.7 reached out to base officials who said, “We are a combat force that must remain ready to defend the nation if called to do so. The training we are conducting has been deemed essential and will continue through this crisis. Our on-base facilities provide the essential services and support to the combat readiness and well-being of our force. While the threat of COVID-19 is serious, we are taking extensive measures to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 aboard the installation.” On Wednesday, Brigadier General Roger Turner announced that many facilities and activities on the base would be temporarily closed.
