Infantry Training Battalion

The homes of the School of Infantry (SOI), Infantry Training Battalions (ITBs) are located at Camp Pendleton, California and Camp Geiger, North Carolina. Here, over the course of 59 days, newly-minted Marines will be instructed on modern Marine Corps infantry tactics in order to conduct expeditionary combat operations.


Writing a Will

It can be scary thinking about your Marine having to fill out a will prior to their deployment. While this can be a difficult time, it is a necessary one that comes with the military life.
