Overview
MARCOA proudly serves over 75% of domestic U.S. military installations as the nation's largest and longest established publisher of military installation maps, telephone directories and maps. We have
been under the same continuous leadership since our founding in 1966, and this continuity has forged a strong bond with all the military services over more than four decades. Many of our employees are
former active duty military, and our national sales force includes many former military personnel. Our highest responsibility to both our sponsor and our advertisers is to maintain the highest quality
publications possible, and our reputation for integrity and the highest ethical standards is well known throughout the entire United States Military community.
Base Guides
Our publications are produced under long-term government contract with each installation and distributed by commands to all incoming personnel six to eight weeks prior to their arrival. This gives them
the opportunity to acquaint themselves and their families with the installation facilities, services, schools, housing, and available recreation includes the hours of operation and appropriate telepho
numbers.
Guides include a section on surrounding areas that contains employment information for spouses and other pertinent information to help make the transition less stressful.
Advertising is permitted within these officially distributed military publications in the form of a "Military Buyers Guide". We enjoy a large percentage of repeat advertising year after year. The
revenues generated by repeat and new advertising in each issue enable us to continue producing the finest four-color publications possible, and thereby assuring our continued position as the nation's
leading publisher to the military.
Installation Guides
MARCOA publishes installation or "base/post" maps for most military commands across the country and are generally distributed throughout the year by the military police at the entrance gates and through many other official channels. These maps have a wide distribution and are highly valued by anyone unfamiliar with the installation and its streets, buildings, runways, golf courses, lakes, etc. The
reverse side of the map generally has a detailed local city and/or area map which includes all major streets and arteries. As with the guides, our maps are 100% advertiser supported.
