Marines with Marines Barracks Washington represent the legacy of 8th & I, upholding the core values of our Corps for 224 years. The Barracks is home to several nationally recognized units, including the United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, the "Commandant's Own" United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, the "President's Own" United States Marine Band, the official United States Marine Corps Color Guard, and the Marine Corps Body Bearers. MBW is also the site of the Home of the Commandants, which, along with the Barracks, is a registered national historic landmark. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Brynn L. Bouchard)
