Welcome to MCAS Yuma. Our primary mission is to support aerial weapons training for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet Marine Forces and Navy, and to serve as a base of operations for Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron-1 and Third MAW units, including Marine Aircraft Group-13. You will soon become an integral part of the Marine Corps’ premier aviation training base, serving along with approximately 4,500 fellow active-duty Marines and Sailors. With access to more than one million acres of bombing and aviation-training ranges and superb flying weather, MCAS Yuma supports 80 percent of the Corps’ air-to-ground aviation training. The air station hosts approximately 70 aviation units, bringing an average of 600 aircraft and 14,000 personnel for ongoing training that takes place throughout the year.
MCAS Yuma is located in a desert town with plenty of sunshine. Average temperatures range from a low of 41 degrees to highs in the 120s. Since Yuma has ideal weather during the fall, winter, and spring months, Winter Visitors like to visit from October through April to enjoy the sunshine. Winter Visitors are retirees who live up north and travel south for warmer weather during the winter months. During this timeframe our population doubles and traffic is slow moving. Population of Yuma County (year-round) is 100,000 with an additional 80,000-100,000 Winter Visitor population in the winter months. During the year starting in March, the temperatures start to increase and can be over 120 degrees during the summer months. July through September can heat up when the humidity increases during monsoon season.
