The U.S. military’s overarching objective is clear: defeat the enemy. For the past 12 months, COVID-19 has been an enemy.
On March 12, 2020, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recorded its first case of the virus when a dependent tested positive while three Marines were self quarantining after returning from overseas. Within a matter of days, schools on base closed and the base hospital set up two screening sites and a phone line to help curtail community spread.
