The Imperial Japanese Army established the site in 1937 as Sendai Air Field, where it functioned as an air crew training facility. During the post-war Occupation of Japan, Allied forces designated the installation Lanier Airfield. The facility currently operates as part of Camp Kasuminome and is under the management of the JGSDF.
