Bangor Naval Submarine Base

Bangor Sub Base manages the third largest collection of nuclear weapons in the country, with approximately 1,700 Trident missiles either stored at its hill-top depot, or onboard its fleet of eight Trident submarines which still roam the seas on secret missions. The base covers over 7,000 acres on the shores of Hood Canal, in Puget Sound, and was activated as a sub base in 1977, after being established as a munitions depot in World War Two. Base closures elsewhere have led to recent growth at Bangor, and now over 10,000 people work at the base.

Barking Sands Missile Range Site

A rocket and missile test facility on the western edge of the island of Kauai. The seven mile long coastal installation is used by the Navy and Army as a ground station on the Pacific Missile Range, a military operations range that covers around 17,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean, and 42,000 square miles of associated air space. Facilities on the base include a 6,000 foot long runway and numerous telemetry and radar facilities to monitor missile, ship, and submarine activities on the range. Sandia National Laboratory, one of the Department of Energy's R&D labs, also has a facility here, and is involved in missile research.

Barksdale Air Force Base

One of the major bomber bases in the country, and one of only two bases with B-52's (the other is Minot AFB, ND). Barksdale is the only complete B-52 crew training center for the country. The base covers 22,000 acres. Has a backup command center for the former Strategic Air Command headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base. It is also the first place that the President went to following the terrosrist attack of September 11, 2001 (later that day he went to Offutt).

"Welcome to the Barksdale Air Force Base website!  Barksdale is a fast-paced base with an exciting mission -- to provide global combat capability and to train all B-52 combat crews.  It is also the location of one of the most awesome concentrations of air power in the world.
Barksdale is home to Headquarters 8th Air Force, the 2d Bomb Wing and the 917th Wing. The "Mighty Eighth" is a warfighting headquarters constantly ready to deploy global air power and command an air operation wherever needed.  The 2d Bomb Wing is the oldest, largest, and best bomb wing in the world, always ready to use its B-52 Stratofortress bombers to deter, defend against, and defeat enemy aggression.  The 917th Wing is an Air Force Reserve unit flying both the B-52 and the A-10 Thunderbolt II.  We host 24 associate units, including Det. 2, 57th Wing (B-52 Weapons School), the 49th Test Squadron (bomber operational testing), and 548th Combat Training Squadron (Air Warrior II).
Barksdale people are dedicated to maintaining our reputation as the United States Air Force's "seasoned professionals" in employing Global Power anywhere, any time.  We also take pride in constantly looking for better ways to do our jobs--because our peace and freedom are at stake.  While we're at it, we always strive to take great care of our troops and their families--because we remember why we're here.  Finally, we work diligently to be "good stewards" of the resources the citizens of this great nation have entrusted to us--because we believe in integrity, service before self, and excellence in everything we do."

Barstow Marine Corps Logistics Base Nebo

The Barstow Marine Corps Logistics Base serves as a storage, distribution and maintenance depot for Marine Corps facilities in the Pacific area and western portions of the United States. Equipment, weapons and supplies are warehoused, repaired, remanufactured and redistributed at this active base, which is the primary Marine Corps facility with this function west of the Mississippi. The depot is composed of three locations east of Barstow: The 2,000 acre Yermo Annex; the Main Base at the Nebo Facility, two miles west of the Yermo Annex; and in between the two, south of Interstate 40, the Marine Corps Rifle Range. All together, the Marine Corps Logistics Base covers over 4,000 acres, and employs 2,500 people. Direct rail links to Los Angeles and San Diego, and the intersection of major interstate highways continue to make this a strategic location. There are several nearby Marine Corps facilities served by the Barstow Logistics Base: the 900 square mile Twenty Nine Palms Combat Center is 25 miles to the southeast; Camp Pendleton, with its population of 50,000 is 100 miles south; El Toro Air Station is less than 100 miles away; and less than 150 miles away is the San Diego Recruit Depot where 23,000 Marines are trained every year.

Bayou Choctaw Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Part of the nation's Emergency Oil Stockpile, the Bayou Choctaw site holds 72 million barrels of crude oil. The site is connected to the St. James terminal on the Mississippi River by a 37-mile, 36-inch-diameter pipeline. The reserve originally consisted of four existing brine caverns converted to 46 million barrels of oil storage. A fifth cavern of 10-million-barrel capacity was obtained in 1985 through an exchange agreement with a local oil company. A new 10-million-barrel cavern was completed in 1990, and oil was transferred from one of the original four caverns. The original cavern was then enlarged to six million barrels of capacity.

Beale Air Force Base

Beale AFB is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft base. Located in the Sacramento Valley, it is home to the only stateside reconnaissance wing, which recently flew the SR-71 Blackbird and still flies the nation's fleet of U2 spy planes. Beale is also one of four U.S. locations for the Phased Array Warning System, a unique radar system housed in a large pyramidal building. Also called PAVE-PAWS, the system tracks airborne and space-borne objects over the Pacific Ocean (there is a similar PAVE-PAWS on Cape Cod that looks out over the Atlantic). The base covers 23,000 acres and employs around 4,000 people.

Big Hill Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Part of the nation's emergency oil stockpile, the Big Hill storage site is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's newest storage facility. Leaching of the storage caverns began in October 1987. Originally designed to be comprised of 14 10-million-barrel caverns, the Department subsequently decided to enlarge the caverns to 12 million barrels. Completed in 1991, these caverns can hold 160 million barrels of crude oil. Currently, the site holds about 40 million barrels. The Big Hill site is linked to the Sun Terminal at Nederland, Texas, by a 25-mile, 36-inch-diameter pipeline.

Boron Air Station and Prison

Six miles north of Kramer Junction is a former Federal Prison Camp, which closed in April, 2000. It was one of around 47 minimum security federal prison camps in the country, and housed about 540 male inmates. Workers in the prison assembled parts for military vehicles and rebuilt forklifts for the army. The boarded up prison facility is located on the site of the old Boron Air Station. The Boron Air Force Radar Facility, or Boron Air Station, which consists of several buildings spread out over a few hundred acres, with a large radar dome at the peak of the hill, was once a part of the National Air Defense Command. Most of the facility was used by the Prison Camp, though the site has reverted back to the Air Force, and is now managed by Edwards Air Force Base. The domed structure at the hill top is still in use by the Air Force and the FAA.
