Photo By Kristyn Galvan | Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow is getting a new look!
For the first time since 1979, MCLB Barstow has proposed a new unit insignia. Working with the Marine Corps History Division, we’ve designed a new emblem where every detail tells the story of our mission, history, and strategic importance.
Here is what the new heraldry represents:
-Route 66: Honors our strategic location on the nation’s most iconic transit corridor.
-Locomotive & Light Armored Vehicle: Showcases our role as the Department of War's largest railhead and our elite depot-level maintenance capabilities.
-Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard: Celebrates the Marine Corps' only Mounted Color Guard, stationed right here.
-High Desert Mountains: Represents the resilient terrain of our California home.
-Crossed Spears & New Motto: Nods to our call sign, "Carthage." Our new motto, "Carthago Defendenda Est" (Carthage must be defended), reinforces our mission to sustain and enable the Joint Force. see less
