    A CONCISE HISTORY OF FORT MONMOUTH, NEW JERSEY AND THE U.S. ARMY CECOM LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT COMMAND Prepared by the Staff of the CECOM LCMC Historical Office U.S. Army CECOM Life Cycle Management Command Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Fall 2009 Design and Layout by CTSC Visual Information Services, Myer Center Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Visit our Website: www.monmouth.army.mil/historian/ When asked to explain a loyalty that time had not been able to dim, one of the Camp Vail veterans said shyly, "The place sort of gets into your blood, especially when you have seen it grow from nothing into all this. It keeps growing and growing, and you want to be part of its growing pains." Many of the local communities have become very attached to Fort Monmouth because of the friendship instilled...not for just a war period but for as long as...Fort Monmouth...will inhabit Monmouth County. - From “A Brief History of the Beginnings of the Fort Monmouth Radio Laboratories,” Rebecca Klang, 1942 FOREWORD The name “Monmouth” has been synonymous with the defense of freedom since our country’s inception. Scientists, engineers, program managers, and logisticians here have delivered technological breakthroughs and advancements to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen for almost a century. These innovations have included the development of FM radio and radar, bouncing signals off the moon to prove the feasibility of extraterrestrial radio communication, the use of homing pigeons through the late-1950s, frequency hopping tactical radios, and today’s networking capabilities supporting our troops in Overseas Contingency Operations.

  • 5. Airport Roles
    5. AIRPORT ROLES As part of GDOT’s prior airport system plans, criteria were identified to assign each airport in the state system to a role or level. In Georgia, airport levels generally reflect the type of users each airport accommodates and the facilities and services that the airport has in place. Levels also typically reflect the airport’s relative importance, as it relates to meeting the state’s transportation and economic needs and objectives. Further, airport levels are often matched to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the communities the airport serves. This chapter of the update to the Georgia Statewide Airport System Plan (GSASP) provides the following: • Review of current airport roles. • Comparison of Georgia state airport levels/roles to roles for Georgia airports established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in their ASSET Study or National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). • Discussion of the need to consider change to current airport levels. • Recommendations for changes to current airport levels. Chapter 6, Airport Facility and Service Objectives, examines the ability of each airport to meet facility and service objectives that are applicable to each airport’s recommended level. 5.1 Factors That Influence Current Roles for Georgia Airports Levels for Georgia airports were established in the 2002 GSASP; the following factors were considered in the 2002 system plan to assign Georgia airports to a level: • Coverage: Percentage of the state contained in an airport service area. This factor included the establishment of a 30-minute service area for each airport via a geographic information system (GIS) drive time analysis.
