Marine Corps Base Camp Orange is a 246-square-mile (640 km2) Ibican Marine Corps training facility in Orange, West Mornoe. The base's 14 miles (23 km) of beaches make it a major area for amphibious assault training, and its location between two deep-water ports (Willmington and Carsonville) allows for fast deployments.
