Marines from the 2nd Transportation Battalion, part of the 2nd Marine Logistics Group returned to Camp Lejeune Thursday afternoon after a grueling 34-day continuous mission, spanning the entire country. In one of the longest military convoys in history, the group of Marines drove 18 vehicles approximately 5,500 miles in total. The convoy started at Camp Lejeune, across the country to Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California, and concluded with the return trip home. As of now, the longest known record for similar missions was the Army's Transcontinental Motor Convoy in 1919, which lasted approximately 3,251 miles conducted over 62 days, according to base officials.
