Contained within a fenced compound at the east end of the airbase is a remaining dedicated military site. 50 or so buildings, used for training by the Air Force and the reserves, sit on about 165 acres behind the chainlink. The rows of huts were built in the 1980s as simple barracks and administrative buildings. This fenced compound was also the site of a large military salvage yard, in use through the 1970s, full of aircraft parts, vehicles, machine guns, and other hardware. The yard was cleared for the construction of what you see onsite today. A few years ago contamination lingering in the ground, on the eastern end of the compound, was remediated.
