The following support is provided:

Decorations:

Flags, Streamers, Colored table cloths, Crayons and butcher paper for the
children

Banners:

1 banner for each unit with the unit name need to order early to ensure MCCS

each of red, white, and blue) and ribbon. The unit must return the helium
tank, nozzle and any leftover supplies to the MCCS Coordinator to be used
for future events.

Astro Jumps:

Food and Hospitality will provide cookies and refreshments for returning
Marines.

What We Need From You

MCCS Operations will need the following information when you contact them
for return and reunion support:

1. Number of Marines and Sailors Returning

Do not factor in the estimated number of family members, MCCS provides enough supplies at a rate of 1 to 2, so if you have 100 people returning, they will give you enough supplies to support 200 people.

2. Date of the return

3. MCCS needs a minimum of 1 week notice prior to the return.

Commands are responsible for requesting return and reunion support from the MCCS Coordinator. MCCS will work with the unit FRO, or designated unit POC.

If you do not know who your MCCS Coordinator is please call MCCS Operations at (760) 763-7176.
