Description
Camp Rilea is located near Warrenton, Oregon, on the Oregon Coast. The installation was established in 1927 as Camp Clatsop to serve as a summer training area for the Oregon National Guard. The site was federalized in 1940 for World War II and returned to state control in 1947. In 1959, the camp was renamed in honor of Major General Thomas E. Rilea.
The base is an Oregon Military Department facility controlled by the Oregon Air National Guard and Oregon Army National Guard. It operates as a Joint Air Force and Army National Guard Base. The primary resident unit is the 116th Air Control Squadron, a deployable airspace command and control unit equipped with radar and communications capabilities. The installation also houses personnel from other Oregon National Guard units and Joint Base Lewis–McChord.
Infrastructure at the base includes the Camp Rilea Heliport and a Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) site, which consists of a mock city for urban warfare training. The installation also hosts a Department of Defense Education Activity Starbase facility and campgrounds for armed forces members. Specialized training facilities on-site are utilized by the Civil Air Patrol and law enforcement agencies.
