The Threatened and Endangered Species Program team at Camp Lejeune actively manages and protects the red-cockaded woodpecker population and on-base habitat. On June 7, the team adds tags to the chicks to track their movements and nest activity. Red-cockaded woodpecker chicks are usually banded at 10 days or younger, when feathers have not yet developed, and their eyes have not opened yet. MCICOM exercises command and control of Marine Corps installations via regional commanders in order to provide oversight, direction and coordination of installation services and to optimize support to the Ope
