Description
Warfield Air National Guard Base is located in Middle River, Maryland, on the northeast side of Martin State Airport. The site was established as the factory airfield for the Glenn L. Martin Company, which conducted military aircraft production there between the 1920s and 1960s. In 1937, height restrictions were proposed around the facility to support the operation of heavy transport aircraft. By 1945, the company had developed $5.5 million in structures at the field. The State of Maryland purchased the property for $9.4 million following a 1974 acquisition proposal.
The 175th Wing of the Maryland Air National Guard operates the base as a tenant activity. The unit's current mission involves the operation of A-10C aircraft. Military infrastructure and specialized facilities are located on the northeast side of the airport. As of late 2022, the base hosts a complement of military aircraft.
