Description
Joint Base Langley–Eustis is a United States military installation located near Hampton and Newport News, Virginia. Established on October 1, 2010, the base resulted from the consolidation of Langley Air Force Base and Fort Eustis under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommendations. Langley Air Force Base was originally built in 1917, while Fort Eustis was established in 1918 as Camp Abraham Eustis. Although managed as a single joint base, the two components are geographically separated by 17 miles.
The United States Air Force operates the installation, with the 633rd Air Base Wing serving as the host unit under the jurisdiction of Air Combat Command. The facility houses the headquarters for Air Combat Command and the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command.
The Langley component facilitates air combat and intelligence operations. It hosts the 1st Fighter Wing, which operates squadrons of F-22 Raptors and T-38 Talons. The Virginia Air National Guard 192nd Wing also operates F-22 Raptors at the site. Resident units include the 363rd and 480th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wings. The installation also hosts the F-22 Raptor Demo Team and the NASA Langley Research Center.
The Fort Eustis component serves as a center for Army transportation, aviation maintenance, and logistics training. Stationed units include the 128th Aviation Brigade, the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), and the 597th Transportation Brigade. The site utilizes its proximity to the James River for logistics and deployment doctrine activities. Fort Eustis houses the Transportation Regiment and absorbed activities from Fort Monroe following that installation's 2011 decommissioning. Additional tenant units include the Joint Task Force – Civil Support and the United States Coast Guard Port Security Unit 305.
