Have you ever wondered what goes into creating a museum gallery or exhibit? Watch here to take a behind the scenes look at the exhibit design process at the Command Museum!
Forward Deployed Gallery
Located in the Command Museum, The Forward Deployed Gallery covers a period of time from 1976 to present day. Included in the Gallery are weapons, artifacts, and displays on Marine Corps campaigns, expeditions, conflicts and more. Watch here to learn about the Forward Deployed Gallery from Command Museum docent, MGySgt Artie Allen III (USMC, Ret.)
We invite you to learn a little more about the Command Museum and the initiatives we support in order to achieve our goal of preserving the legacy of the Marine Corps. Our artifacts and our galleries are just the beginning of what we represent, and we hope you enjoy hearing a bit about how we are more than a museum.

We wish you Happy Holidays! Semper Fidelis!

A big thank you to Pacific Marine Credit Union for continuing to support the Command Museum's VOICE Program. VOICE, or Veteran Outreach & Increased Community Engagement, provides programs, resources, and events annually for our active duty, veterans, their families, and the community at large that provide resources, information, and connect people from all walks of life within the greater San Diego area. In the video clip below, Bill Birnie, President and CEO of Pacific Marine, talks about why it is important for him personally and for PMCU to be involved in the VOICE program. Thank you Pacific Marine for continuing to be so supportive of the Command Museum and our Marine Corps family!
