I think you are asking about China Lake Naval weapons Station. (I think) If so then that is a bombing range for aircraft. They develope weapons and weapons platforms. ie planes and bombs dropped from planes. As for why it is in the desert I suppose because bombing runs in Beverly Hills or San Francisco wouled be unpopular with the residents.

The desert environment allows for desert training of personnel who will be deployed to desert regions, as well as testing of equipment that will be operating there.
Also, as with everything in the military, it comes down to money. Military bases tend to be land intensive, so the government would rather build a base out in the desert, where land is cheap, than close to an urban area, where land is expensive.

Because the United States Marine Corps often gets deployed to the middle east. They fight in a situation that they will be deployed in. San Diego California.

I never heard that before, which base are you thinking about? It's no secret that the Army has more things that float than the Navy, the Navy has more things that fly than the Air Force, and the Air Force has more things on wheels than the Army.
