Moving Miramar Marines and aircraft to Pendleton is another option that I would like to look into further. There is already a large air station at Pendleton and it could be expanded. Seems to me that although it would be complicated and involve moving 10,000 Marines and hundreds of aircraft, it would be a feasible option. The military in general will not be open to this becasue once they are it would indicate that they are willing to close Miramar. However, for the military this may be preferable to sharing Miramar.
