ABOUT US

The Combat Marine Outdoors story began in 2005 after visiting combat wounded Marines and Sailors from the 1st Marine Division at Brooke Army Medical Center for several months. The Marines, Sailors and service members there needed an opportunity to get away from the hospital, in an environment of friendship, camaraderie, and fellowship with fellow Marines to accelerate their recovery from the traumatic injuries they sustained in combat.
