Whitley, community plans and liaison office, Assistant Chief of Staff G-7 Government and External Affairs, Marine Corps Installations West – Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, speaks on updated training areas that have been reacquired by the federal government on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Jan. 22, 2026.
