Camp Gilbert H. Johnson

Camp Gilbert H. Johnson is a satellite camp of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina and home to the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools, where various support military occupational specialties such as administration, supply, logistics, finance, and motor transport maintenance are trained. Camp Johnson is situated on Montford Point, the site of recruit training for the first African Americans to serve in the Marine Corps, known as 'Montford Point Marines'.


The purpose of the camp is to conduct formal resident training for officers and enlisted personnel in the occupational fields of logistics, motor transport, personnel administration, supply, and financial management, as well as to conduct instructional management and combat water survival swim training. In addition to training Marines, Camp Johnson also houses the Field Medical Training Battalion, which trains corpsmen and religious program specialists of the Navy. The commanding officer of MCCSSS also serves as the area commander of Camp Johnson, and provides administrative support to various tenant commands.


When Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802, blacks were, for the first time, permitted to join the Marine Corps. One of the first African Americans to enlist in the United States Marine Corps was Gilbert 'Hashmark' Johnson, who became a drill instructor. Between 1942 and 1949, the camp at Montford Point was a recruit depot for black recruits, training 20,000 African Americans during that period.


In 1948, by Executive Order 9981, President Harry S. Truman ordered the military to integrate. In 1974, Montford Point was renamed Camp Gilbert H. Johnson in honor of the late Sergeant Major Gilbert H. 'Hashmark' Johnson. A Montford Point drill instructor, he served during World War II and the Korean War. Camp Johnson became the home of the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools.


In 2007, a documentary entitled The Montford Point Marine Project was released, honoring the black Marines who trained at Montford Point.


Camp Johnson is home to the Montford Point Museum. The museum houses items and pictures of the camp during its years as a boot camp. Outside the gate of Camp Johnson stands a tribute to marines, soldiers and sailors who gave their lives trying to keep the peace in Lebanon. The Beirut Memorial is the site of an annual commemoration of the October 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, when 241 marines, sailors, and soldiers were killed.


This area is also home to a '9/11' memorial, and a Vietnam War memorial. The '9/11' memorial features a beam salvaged from the tower wreckage. The memorial area is well maintained and is used for many ceremonies, from promotions to retirements. The recently built Vietnam Memorial consists of many thick glass panes erected from the ground in a circular shape. Each pane of glass is etched with the names of all the service men and women who gave their lives during the Vietnam war. In the center of the memorial is a large water fountain.


Directly across the street is the North Carolina Veterans Cemetery. This cemetery is the resting place to many of Marine veterans. Funerals with 'Military Honors' are done on site. Funeral details are provided by the personnel of MCCSSS, Camp Johnson, and neighboring units.

The 241; 2013 Beirute Memorial Tribute in HD

October 23 1983 an explosive laden truck drove into the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut Lebanon and exploded (first of such action to take place to an American outpost), killing 241 U.S. military personnel. 10 years later some grateful civilians and retired citizens of Jacksonville NC created a Wall to commemorate the 241 Americans who lost their lives on a mission of peace. Since the commemoration of The Wall the city of Jacksonville has held a ceremony to pay tribute. This year commemorates the 30th year since that tragedy & this is my small effort to pay tribute to the that anniversary but mostly The 241

1983 Beirut barracks bombing

The Beirut Barracks Bombings (October 23, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon) occurred during the Lebanese Civil War when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon—killing 299 American and French servicemen. An obscure group calling itself 'Islamic Jihad' claimed responsibility for the bombings.
Suicide bombers detonated each of the truck bombs. In the attack on the building serving as a barracks for the 1st Battalion 8th Marines (Battalion Landing Team - BLT 1/8), the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers, making this incident the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since World War II's Battle of Iwo Jima, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Vietnam War's Tet Offensive, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II. Another 128 Americans were wounded in the blast. Thirteen later died of their injuries, and they are numbered among the total number who died. An elderly Lebanese man, a custodian/vendor who was known to work and sleep in his concession stand next to the building, was also killed in the first blast. The explosives used were later estimated to be equivalent to as much as 9,525 kg (21,000 pounds) of TNT.
