[edit] History
[edit] Beginnings
MCCES began as the Pigeon and Flag Handler Platoon in 1932. On 5 October 1942, it was activated as the Signal School under the Signal Battalion in Quantico, VA. In 1943 they moved to Camp Lejeune, NC; remained there until the end of WWII and eventually offered 15 courses in the communications field. In August 1946 the school was relocated to Camp Del Mar on Camp Pendleton,CA. In December of 1949 Signal School was re-designated as Signal and Tracked Vehicle School Battalion. In 1950, coinsideing with the Korean Conflict, the school was moved to MCRD San Diego, CA and was renamed to Signal School Battalion in September. During this time the school added technician and repairmen training. In 1953, the school was re designated to Communications-Electronics School Battalion.
[edit] Modern Day
In 1963, the school began to move to Marine Corps Base, Twentynine Palms, CA with the move of Charley and Echo Companies. In February of 1971 the school was redesignated as to it current title of Marine Corps Communications-Electronics School and Alpha and Delta Companies moved to Twentynine Palms at this time. Also during this time an Officer Training course was developed for Air Defense Officer and the school trained over 5000 Marines Annually. In 1975, Bravo Company moved from Camp Pendleton, completing the move of the school and establishing the largest formal school in the Marine Corps. In 2003, coinciding with the MOS redesignation of Data Marines from the 4000 series to 065X, Delta Company combined with Bravo Company.
