Col. Gregory B. Pace now leads the second-largest employer in the city
Victorville Daily Press
A new leader is in charge at the U.S. Marine Corps Logistics Base, which transitions from a commander whose three-year term saw the base’s reach and purpose expand while nearly $3 billion worth of equipment rolled in and out on Barstow’s rail lines.
During a ceremony Thursday morning, Col. Gregory B. Pace became commanding officer at a base that is Barstow s second-largest employer behind only the Army s Fort Irwin National Training Center, according to data the city provided the Daily Press.
The base’s strategic positioning in the High Desert is valuable to the military supply chain, too; it is a neighbor to BNSF Railway’s Intermodal Facility, and almost a midway point between Fort Irwin and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms.

The Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) and the Bureau International des Containers (BIC) have collaborated to standardize identification of terminals, ramps, container yards and depots in the U.S.
Each facility in IANA’s Intermodal Facilities Directory, maintained as part of the organization’s Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting service, now has a structured address, GPS coordinates and a 9-character BIC Facility Code, along with the preexisting IANA location codes that currently serve the North American intermodal market. “Adoption of these codes is expected to result in smoother communication between parties, quicker identification of facilities by third parties such as motor carriers and telematics providers, more efficient lessor-lessee communications related to on/off-hires and better visibility for BCOs (beneficial cargo owners),” IANA said.
