  • Conversations from Cecil Field, Florida
    Conversations from Cecil Field, Florida TRANSCRIPTIONS OF ORAL HISTORY RECORDINGS OF NINETEEN WHO SERVED Lyn Corley Out in the piney woods of Northeast Florida was born NAAS Cecil Field, child of NAS Jacksonville. From two hangars, Hangar 13 and Hangar 14, and a 2,000-foot diameter circular landing mat it grew with the addition of four 5,000-foot runways. It grew to house a jet squadron in 1949 with Carrier Air Group 1 and Fleet Aircraft Service Squadron 9. It grew with four 8,000- foot runways to become the first Master Jet Base in the South. It grew to have eight hangars and 19,000 acres with its own outlying fields. Its extended 12,500-foot runway grew to become an alternate landing site for NASA space shuttles. It grew with the addition of Naval Weapons Station Yellow Water with over 10,000 acres, Outlying Field Whitehouse, and Pinecastle Bombing Range. Cecil grew to encompass 3% of the land area of Duval County, Florida. Cecil served our world by becoming a training base for those who would protect American lives and freedoms that we cherish. Tens of thousands of men and women came through its gate to serve. They lived and died in that pursuit. Cecil had promise “to continue to be a station of significant importance to readiness in the U. S. Atlantic fleet” according to public relations materials but, NAS Cecil Field passed away on September 30, 1999. Many fought to save its life and the City of Jacksonville, Florida and those who served there mourned its passing.

  • Background Information 2.0
    Background Information 2.0 2.1 Chronology of Events This JLUS represents continuing coordination between the Navy and juris- dictions in the Hampton Roads area in developing sound land use policies which enable the presence of military operations in the area. Below is a brief narrative highlighting development decisions preceding this JLUS planning process which reflects a foundation of dialogue at various levels, including key stakeholders and community interaction. Large scale development within the vicinity of NAS Oceana began in the City of Virginia Beach more than 30 years ago. Since the dialogue on land use compatibility/development between Virginia Beach and the Navy began in the 70s, development has been proposed and approved within areas the Navy disagrees should be developed. In other cases, the City has modified or rejected development proposals to address the Navy’s concerns. Over the years, conflicts have occurred over land use proposals between the two parties. Varying planning and land use policies were adopted by the City to address this problem. The differences between the two parties escalated during the basing decisions for the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets and new Navy regulations about AICUZ land use compatibilities during 2002 and 2003. This JLUS effort in 2004 is a direct consequence of these differing a�itudes towards development in NAS Oceana’s AICUZ. Development around NALF Fentress, on the other hand, has been less intense over the past decades. However, recent development pressures are pushing new residents further into areas surrounding NALF Fentress. The leaders of the City of Chesapeake have included growth manage- ment tools into their long-term planning strategies to keep development incompatible with military operations away from the active airfield.

  • 1.6 - Military Installations and Support
    City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan – It’s Our Future: A Choice City November 20, 2018 1.6 - MILITARY INSTALLATIONS AND SUPPORT Virginia Beach proudly hosts three military installations, including the U.S. Navy’s East Coast Master Jet Base. These include: • Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Ft. Story (U.S. Navy – U.S. Army) • NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex (U.S. Navy) • Camp Pendleton (VA National Guard) This military presence dates back to the early 20th Century and has come to be a defining character of our city, influencing its growth, economy, and land U.S. Navy Blue Angels in formation use patterns through the years. The City supports a continued strong military presence, both now and in the years to come. Our commitment to ensure this includes: • adopted land use plans as part of this Comprehensive Plan; • Air Installations Compactible Use Zones (AICUZ) zoning regulations; • a land acquisition program to reduce incompatible residential density and use encroachment and annual reporting; • a business relocation incentive program; and, • advocacy and advisory partnership committees. We work closely with local and regional military leaders, the United States Congress, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and neighboring municipalities to reduce incompatible land use encroachment, and to prevent future incompatible land use, i.e., encroachment, from occurring adjacent to our military installations. We absolutely recognize the value and importance that the Department of Defense places on its unique training facilities in our city. We desire to work in continued partnership to play host to their mission and their families, who are such an integral part of our diverse community.

    NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TACTICAL AIR AND LAND FORCES STATEMENT OF REAR ADMIRAL S. D. CONN DIRECTOR, AIR WARFARE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS BEFORE THE TACTICAL AIR AND LAND FORCES SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE ON THE NAVY’S F-35C PROGRAM March 7, 2018 NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON TACTICAL AIR AND LAND FORCES Introduction Chairman Turner, Ranking Member Tsongas and distinguished Members of the Subcommittee, it is a distinct pleasure to be here with you today. Thank you for the opportunity to appear and discuss the Navy’s progress with integrating the F-35C into our Carrier Air Wings, providing fifth generation capabilities to the warfighter and challenges associated with this new technology. The F-35C will form the backbone of Navy air combat superiority for decades to come complementing the tactical fighter fleet with a dominant, multirole, fifth-generation aircraft capable of projecting U.S. power and deterring potential adversaries. The Carrier Air Wing of the future must rely on the capacity and capabilities of both fourth and fifth-generation aircraft. The F-35C provides unique capabilities that cannot be matched by modernizing fourth-generation aircraft. Stealth technology and advanced integrated systems enable the F-35C to counter rapidly evolving air-to-air and surface-to-air threats. Whether the mission requires the execution of strike, Close Air Support (CAS), counter air, escort, or electronic warfare (EW), the F-35C is vital to our future as they become a lethal cornerstone of our naval air forces.

  • EA 18G “Growler” Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island
    NAS Whidbey Island Complex Growler FEIS, Volume 1 September 2018 2 Proposed Action and Alternatives This chapter describes the Proposed Action, the process for selecting the range of alternatives considered in this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and the alternatives carried forward or eliminated from further analysis. 2.1 Proposed Action In June 2013, the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD) Appropriations Act of 2014 added additional EA-18G “Growler” aircraft and the necessary funding to augment the Growler community. Therefore, on September 5, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) announced the preparation of an EIS to evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with the potential introduction of 13 additional aircraft. In spring 2014, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) submitted an Unfunded Requirements List that included 22 additional Growler aircraft as part of the Budget of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 2015. An unfunded budget request represents a list of resources the Navy deems necessary to perform its mission but for which there is no current funding. Standing alone, an unfunded budget request neither ensures nor provides for additional funding, and, therefore, there is no certainty that requested funding could be provided by Congress. Nonetheless, since there is a possibility that additional Growler aircraft could be purchased in the future, the Navy elected to revise the scope for the EIS effort in order to be transparent with the public as to future possibilities. The revised scope for this EIS was announced in October 2014. Subsequently, Congress authorized the purchase of additional Growler aircraft in 2015 and 2016.
