A Mexican Border patrol
post was established at San Diego in March 1911 when Colonel
Charles St. J Chubb with ten companies of the 30th Infantry,
aggregating 703 men, arrived there on March 10. The command left
the Presidio of San Francisco on March 7 in compliance with General
Orders No. 21. It is believed that this camp may have operated
until 1917.
