Camp Rilea

Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center is an Oregon Military Department base located on the Oregon Coast in Warrenton, Oregon. Established in 1927 as Camp Clatsop, it was initially a summer training area for the Oregon National Guard. In 1940, the camp was federalized for World War II, returning to state control in 1947. It was renamed Camp Rilea in 1959, honoring Major General Thomas E. Rilea. The base operates as a Joint Air Force and Army National Guard Base, primarily utilized by the United States Air Force and the United States Army. It is also home to Camp Rilea Heliport.

The main unit stationed at Camp Rilea is the 116th Air Control Squadron, a deployable airspace command and control unit equipped with radar and communications capabilities. This squadron has been deployed overseas for operations such as Operation Enduring Freedom in 2006, to Qatar in 2011, and Southwest Asia in 2015. The facility also hosts personnel from other units of the Oregon Air National Guard and Oregon Army National Guard, as well as Joint Base Lewis–McChord, for various training exercises. Beyond military use, Camp Rilea provides training grounds for local law enforcement, SWAT teams, Civil Air Patrol, and the Boy Scouts of America. Notable features include a MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) site, which is a mock city for urban warfare training, and campgrounds available to armed forces members. The base is also home to a Starbase, a Department of Defense Education Activity program.
