Original Item: Only One Available. These are pertinent items to be have on Military installations. These are vital when it comes to finding the proper location on a base, especially a building you have not been to before. During my (Paddy) time on Camp Lejeune, we often ran into building with the same numbers but no signs visible, so this is definitely an important item!

The plaque itself measures approximately 10” x 7” and still retains full, crisp details. The sign is for NAVAL LEGAL SERVICE OFFICE DETACHMENT GTMO BAY CUBA.

Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, officially known as Naval Station Guantanamo Bay or NSGB, (also called GTMO, pronounced Gitmo as jargon by members of the U.S. military) is a United States military base located on 45 square miles (117 km2) of land and water on the shore of Guantánamo Bay at the southeastern end of Cuba. It has been permanently leased to the United States since 1903 as a coaling station and naval base, making it the oldest overseas U.S. naval base in the world. The lease was $2,000 in gold per year until 1934, when the payment was set to match the value in gold in dollars; in 1974, the yearly lease was set to $4,085.

Since taking power in 1959, the Cuban communist government has consistently protested against the U.S. presence on Cuban soil, arguing that the base "was imposed on Cuba by force" and is "illegal under international law." Since 2002, the naval base has contained a military prison, for alleged unlawful combatants captured in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other places during the War on Terror. Cases of alleged torture of prisoners by the U.S. military, and their denial of protection under the Geneva Conventions, have been criticized.

The 1903 lease has no fixed expiration date, and as such it can only be ended if the US Navy decided to abandon the area or both countries agreed mutually to end the lease.

Comes more than ready for further research and display.
