About This Service
Military Defense at MCAS New River in Jacksonville, NC
MCAS New River is a Marine Corps Air Station adjacent to Camp Lejeune, serving as the primary rotary wing aviation support installation for II MEF. Marines and sailors stationed at New River face the same UCMJ framework as those at Lejeune and Cherry Point, with New River proceedings often handled by the same legal community as Lejeune commands.
Matthew Thomas is based in Jacksonville, NC. New River is effectively next door to Camp Lejeune, and the legal community across both installations overlaps significantly. He has worked with and against the USMC legal personnel serving both installations during his active duty service and in private practice.
Legal matters at New River typically run through Lejeune's legal structure. That connection between the two installations means Matthew's knowledge of the Lejeune command and legal environment extends to New River proceedings.
