Courthouse Bay

Courthouse Bay is a subdivision of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and is home to the Marine Corps Engineer School, , and the 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion. Located near Camp Lejeune's southwestern Sneads Ferry gate, the sub-camp is largely self-sufficient, in that it has its own chow hall, post exchange, MWR recreation facilities, and water supply.
The complex was originally used during World War II, however, as a Barrage Balloon School. Because it was far from the main area at Hadnot Point, Courthouse Bay was built as a semi-independent village with its own water supply, recreation facilities, mess hall, barracks, and officers' quarters.
