| NAS Brunswick |
Naval Air Station Brunswick is the last, active-duty
Department of Defense airfield remaining in the northeast, and is home to
five active duty and two reserve squadrons. Flying Lockheed P-3 "Orion"
long-range maritime patrol aircraft tasked by Patrol and Reconnaissance
Wing Five, active duty squadrons regularly deploy overseas for six months
at a time. NAS Brunswick has 29 tenant commands, including a Reserve P-3
squadron and a Reserve Fleet Logistics Support Squadron flying C-130
"Hercules" transports. In addition, over 1,600 Naval Reservists travel
from throughout New England to drill at Naval Air Reserve Brunswick,
SeaBee Battalion and numerous other reserve commands. Approximately 20
percent of NAS Brunswick's activities, facilities and services are in
direct support of the AEGIS Destroyer shipbuilding program at nearby
Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Bath and the Bath Iron Works Corporation.
Also, the Navy's only cold weather Survival, Evasion, Resistance and
Escape (SERE) school is taught at Brunswick and on 12,000 acres near
Rangeley in northwestern Maine. As Maine's second largest employer, NAS
Brunswick employs 4,863 military and civilian personnel, including 713
officer, 3,493 enlisted personnel and 657 civilians. The air station
provides over $187 million to the local economy, including $115 million in
salaries, $38 million in contracts and material purchases and $34 million
in medical purchases. With several area organizations dedicated to
maintaining a seamless relationship between the military and civilian
communities, NASB officials are actively working as partners with the
Military-Community Council, the Mid-Coast Council for Business
Development, the combined Bath-Brunswick Chamber of Commerce, the American
Red Cross, and numerous other state, regional and local organizations.
Located near great circle routes for both shipping and air lanes, NAS
Brunswick is the base closest to the European theater and NATO commands.
As the last active duty DOD airfield in the northeast, with room to grow,
the base is poised to provide expanded services and facilities to
additional fleet commands as they are needed. Brunswick Naval Air Station
is approx. 1 1/2 hours north of Portmsouth Naval Shipyard. |

| NAVAL BASE NEW LONDON |
In 1868, Connecticut gave the Navy land and, in 1872, two
brick buildings and a "T" shaped pier were built and officially declared a
Navy Yard. Today the Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE), located on
the east side of Thames River in Groton, Conn., proudly claims its motto
to be "The First and Finest." Since 1900, our submarines have evolved from
small submersibles with limited capability to proven warfighters in World
War II to today's nuclear-powered, multi-missioned warships. Nearly 100
years of technological innovation and flexible adaptation to changing
strategic and defense needs have made today's Submarine Force ready and
able to respond decisively across the spectrum of conflict. SUBASE offers
a wide range of support services for military and family members. You can
find assistance for child care, parenting, basic skills for living
(budgeting and stress management), educational opportunities, employment
assistance, spiritual guidance, legal assistance, new parent support, and
for a variety of other needs and interests. At the "heart" of these
support services is the Navy Fleet and Family Support Center as it
provides a valuable link to other support services through its extensive
Information and Referral assistance. The NFSC, the Base Chaplain's Office,
Navy Legal Services, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, and many other
organizations are here to assist you in time of need. The base is easily
accessible from Interstate 95 and is within an hour's drive from two major
airports. Goton Submarine Base is approx. 160 miles south of Portsmouth
Naval Shipyard. |
