MCBH LOCATION INFORMATION: Kaneohe Bay is located on the Mokapu Peninsula on the Northeastern coast of the island of Oahu. This area was initially a valuable agricultural area for the Kingdom of Hawaii with several home sites, fishponds, small ko’a shrines, and larger heiau temples. In 1918, Kuwaaohe Military Reservation was established by the U.S. Army. The military site experienced multiple deactivation, reactivation, and name changes between 1918 and 1939. In 1940, the U.S. Navy acquired much of the peninsula. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the station and throughout World War II the air station was a major training base in the Pacific Theater. Decommissioned by the Navy in 1949, the U.S. Marine Corps re-commissioned Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay in 1952.

Employees are expected to report in person/on-site on workdays with occasional telework for personal reasons.
