BI&E

2 ~ AUG 200J

1. Purpose. To provide guidance for the erection of unit identification, regulatory, traffic control and directional signs aboard Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune.

2. Background. Signs aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune are the responsibility and property of the Commanding General,,,, Marine Corp Base. Signs have proliferated over the years to the point of cluttering the roadways and providing no real or appreciable purpose. There is no longer any uniformity in dimensions or information. Many signs are outdated reflecting old higher headquarters that no longer exist. The Commanding General directed that AC/S, Installations & Environment (I&E) design new signs and provided commander's intent to accomplish three objectives:

Provide authorized visitors and new personnel meaningful, easy to follow directions to areas and organizations aboard the base, reduce the amount of signs cluttering the roadways, and enhance the appearance of the base by installing professional looking, aesthetically pleasing signs of uniform standards. Signs are the property of MCB Camp Lejeune, and as such the responsibility of AC/S, I&E. Signs will not be moved or modified by anyone other than AC/S, I&E; except where stated otherwise in this order.

Requests for signs and sign changes will be submitted via written work request to Public Works Maintenance Operations per reference ( a)

3. Policy

a. Exterior. Signs will be informational in nature, uniform in size, and will not be modified by the organization under any circumstances. The posts that support signs will not be painted. Requests for signs, including the replacement of existing signs, will be submitted on a work request in accordance with

BO 11014.3

reference (a), and will include a complete description, location, justification and sketch. Requests will be submitted via the chain of command to the Public Works Division. When revisions to existing signs are being requested, the requester will bring the sign and the work request to Building 1005. Customers will be notified when signs are ready for pick-up. Requests for signs whose location affect traffic such as signs adjacent to roads, intersections, traffic flow, etc., will be routed through the AC/S, Installation Security and Safety (ISS) for comments/recommendations. Signs that do not comply with this order must be removed. If a unit/ organization with a 6' X 6' mounted sign moves to a new facility, it shall submit a work request to Public Works Maintenance Operations Branch (PWMOB), Public Works Division (PWD) to have its sign relocated. If a unit deployment will result in moving out of a building the unit will take down its sign and store it with other unit remain behind equipment. Anyone requiring assistance moving a sign will submit a work request to PWMOB for approval.

(1) Organizational/Unit Identification Signs. All organizational/unit signs will be fabricated by Installat:Lons Services Division (ISD), AC/S I&E to ensure standardization. Signs should be requested in writing, with a work request attached, via the chain of command to Public Works Maintenance Operations. Hours of operation will not be included on signs manufactured by Public Works unless specifically approved by the AC/S, I&E. The style and type of sign that will be erected at the requested location is based on the guidance below:

(a) Contoured Signs. Intended for separate company (LtCol Commanding), battalion, and higher headquarters, or other units/organizations located on Holcomb or McHugh Blvd's due to the high visibility of these roads. Signs will be on 6" x 6" stained posts with pointed wood caps, and will face parallel to the roadway unless doing so will preclude visibility of the sign. In those instances, a double-sided 3' x 5' sign may be erected perpendicular to the road upon approval of AC/S I&E. (See Figure 1). An 11 inch color logo of the Organization, Major Command (MC) or Major Subordinate Command (MSC) to which the unit belongs will be centered in the curved top area of the sign. No logo below MSC is authorized on these signs. The authorized Organization/ MC/MSC logos are II MEF, 2d MARDIV, 2d FSSG, CLMCB, and NHCL. Where two units with different organizations/MC/MSC share same facility, the Marine Corps Seal will be the logo placed on that facility's sign.

Separate Company (LtCol Commanding), Battalion and higher units will have the Commanding Officer and SgtMaj's name on signs placed on a stained 2" x 4" located 3 inches below the unit sign. These signs will not be moved without approval of AC/S I&E. Signs will be color-coded as follows:

Operating Forces and MCB organizations: Red background, yellow lettering and yellow border stripe.

In those instances, a double-

,f sided 3' x 5' sign may be erected perpendicular to the road upon approval of AC/S I&E. Company Commander and lstSgt name~ will not be included on company signs. Signs will indicate unit and senior command, i.e. "A Co 2d Bn 8th Marines." These signs will not be moved without approval of AC/S I&E.
