Nor would they know the DZ is named in honor of a bona fide Vietnam War hero and fighter for veteran’s rights. Their hike may take them past a small plaque beside the trail.

Meade. Since its activation in 1917, Fort Meade has experienced several mission changes. It served as a training site for drafted and mobilized U.S. Army com- bat and support forces in both World Wars. The interwar Army tank corps was located there, and the fort processed USAR and Army National Guard (ARNG) units from sever- al states for the presidential call-up in support of Operation Desert Shield (1990). Fort Meade has also supported major Army administrative operations, notably the headquarters of the Second U.S. Army and later First U.S. Army. Since the end of the Cold War, the fort’s mission has again changed to focus on supporting information, intelligence, and cyber operations. Currently the major tenant organizations are the National Security Agency, Defense Media Activity, Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Courier Service, and the U.S.

  • Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland SECTION 2 INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION
    Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland SECTION 2 INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION 2.1 DESCRIPTION OF ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE Andrews AFB is located in the Maryland portion of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area. The Base is situated in northwestern Prince George’s County, approximately 5 miles southeast of the Washington D.C. boundary line. The Capital Beltway (I-495) passes just west of installation, and the surrounding lands are heavily developed as part of the Washington D.C. suburban core. The Base encompasses 4,346 acres of fee-owned federal land. Andrews AFB has two parallel runways, respectively designated as Runways 01Left/19Right (01L/19R), and 01R/19L. Figure 2.1 shows the location of Andrews AFB. Andrews AFB is responsible for two outlying communication sites: Brandywine and Davidsonville. The Brandywine site covers 1,635 acres and is located 10 miles south of the Base. The Davidsonville site, which covers over 900 acres, is approximately 20 miles northeast of the Base. The Davidsonville and Brandywine sites each have landing zones and support helicopter training operations. 2.2 MISSION The 316th Wing -- the Base’s host wing -- is responsible for maintaining emergency reaction rotary-wing airlift and other National Capital Region contingency response capabilities critical to national security and for organizing, training, equipping, and deploying combat-ready forces for Air and Space Expeditionary Forces. The Wing also provides installation security, services and airfield management to support the President, Vice President, other U.S. senior leaders and more than 50 tenant organizations and federal agencies.
