.: Print Version :. As the Marines continue to conduct air operations from Miramar, federal, state and local politicians are marching in lockstep in support of all the county's bases and smaller military facilities.

He and others point out that the base has seen more than $1 billion in military spending since it was converted from a Navy to a Marine Corps base.
