  • WRP New Mexico Military Asset List (MAL)
    WRP New Mexico Military Asset List (MAL) Within the Western Regional Partnership (WRP) region, there are significant military testing and training installations and ranges. WRP developed summaries from all of the Services and the National Guard, describing the history, missions, and importance of these assets. These summaries use only publicly available information and are written for the policy maker new to military issues and the military savvy person needing specific military information. It is our hope that WRP Partners use these summaries as a tool for land use planning efforts to encourage compatible growth and ensure future mission viability. Incompatible development (encroachment) comes in many forms but for the military, it means those issues that affect their ability to fulfill their mission on land, in the sea, or in the air. These military summaries are for general planning purposes. Attached New Mexico MAL summaries: Air Force: • Cannon Air Force Base • Holloman Air Force Base • Kirtland Air Force Base • Melrose Air Force Range Army: • Fort Bliss • Fort Bliss Training Center • White Sands Missile Range National Guard: • New Mexico Air National Guard • New Mexico Army National Guard Military Asset List 2016 U.S. Air Force CANNON AIR FORCE BASE : NEW MEXICO Cannon Air Force Base (AFB) is located on the high plains of Eastern New Mexico, near the Texas panhandle. It is named in honor of the late Gen. John K. Cannon, former commander of the Tactical Air Command. Beginning as a small passenger facility for civilians in the 1920’s, the military established a presence at the air base in 1942.
