Road Trip: Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, New Jersey

Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst (JB MDL) is a United States military facility located 18 miles southeast of Trenton, New Jersey.

The facility is an amalgamation of the United States Air Force's McGuire Air Force Base, the United States Army's Fort Dix and the United States Navy's Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst, which were merged on 1 October 2009.

It was established in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The legislation ordered the consolidation of the three facilities which were adjoining, but separate military installations, into a single joint base, one of 12 formed in the United States as a result of the law.

The 42,000-contiguous acres of JB MDL are home to more than 80 mission partners and 40 mission commanders providing a wide range of combat capability. The base spans more than 20 miles, from east to west.

It is situated in the two largest counties in New Jersey—Burlington and Ocean—and includes portions of eight municipalities: the borough of Wrightstown and the townships of New Hanover, North Hanover, Pemberton, and Springfield, in Burlington County, and the townships of Jackson, Manchester, and Plumsted in Ocean County.

The 87th Air Base Wing provides installation management support for 3,933 facilities with an approximate value of $9.3 billion in physical infrastructure. More than 44,000 Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, civilians, and their family members live and work on and around JB MDL, which has an economic impact on the state of New Jersey.

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., is home to five wings. The 87th Air Base Wing is the host wing. The wing's vision is to be America's premier joint warfighting installation and air mobility center of excellence. The wing's mission is to provide unrivaled installation support to all mission commanders and to provide mission-ready, motivated, expeditionary Airmen to our combatant commanders.

My face when I wake up too early...
....and didn't have to!
Does this mean I'm finally caught up on sleep?
I sure hope not!
But it is harder to sleep when it's warm.
Can't cuddle under the bankies. LOL!
Anyhooooooo...🦉...y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
I'm still hoping for rain.
Not that it will come, but....
((((hugs))))
