Camp Bulkeley is an encampment aboard United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. Camp Bulkeley was constructed between 1943 - 1945. Originally, the camp was constructed to house Marines that were permanently stationed at the United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay. Later, the camp was named for Vice Admiral John D. Bulkeley, who was in charge of the base during 1964, when Cuba had accused the United States of stealing water. The camp has been home to elements of Marine anti-aircraft batteries, Seabees stationed in Guantanamo Bay, and from 1962, the United States Marine Corps took over Camp Bulkeley and used the camp continuously until 1976. In 1976, a permanent Marine Corps contingent was assigned to the base at a different location. The camp was marked for destruction for 1977. Camp Bulkeley continued to be used after 1977. Various units have occupied the camp. In 1991, the camp was revived and drawn into the national spotlight due to a coup d'etat in Haiti causing a large scale exodus of people. The United States Coast Guard rescued persons in International Waters and brought them to the Naval Station for processing. Rescued persons were held in locations near Camp Bulkeley. ==Former Commands== * Seabees * United States Marine Corps 4th Defense Battalion (1941 - 1942) * United States Marine Corps 9th Defense Battalion (1942) * United States Marine Corps 13th Defense Battalion (1942 - 1944) * United States Marine Corps 2nd Battalion 8th Marine 2nd MarDiv FMF - Fox Co.(1968 - 1973) * United States Marine Corps Special Mission Force * Joint Task Force (JTF) 160 * Joint Task Force (JTF) 170 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camp Bulkeley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
