Joint Base Clark-Gordon

Joint Base Clark-Gordon is so called because it’s the home of both the U.S. Army and the Air Force in the region. It was originally two separate facilities that operated as such for 55 years; Fort Clark and Gordon Air Force Base were merged in 2005 due to a government initiative to maximize infrastructure and save taxpayer money.
Located on the northern peninsula at the entrance of Malory Bay, Joint Base Clark-Gordon is one the largest military installations of its kind on U.S. soil. The base acts primarily as a personnel transfer and training facility. It also houses the Joint Regional Correctional Facility which originally housed minimum and medium security prisoners from all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, but has been pressed into service in housing non-powered civilian prisoners until the overcrowding situation in the Emerald City Corrections System can be alleviated.
Also located on the base are two airfields which support the Reynolds Flight Test Center and the Whitmore Flight Research Center where experimental aircraft are designed, built, and tested. The research center also designs components for NASA and facilities that maintain and repair aircraft. The hangars located around the field hold many top secret projects, some purely military while others are joint military/civilian ventures. Rumors abound both on the base and off, that one of hangars, designated Hangar 13, holds the remains of several UFOs that allegedly crashed in the Atlas Mountains in 1947, and the Air Force is using the reversed engineered alien technology in their experimental planes. Other rumors hint that the bodies of occupants are also located at the base, and the government is trying to cover the evidence up with the flight research center.
Joint Base Clark-Gordon houses more than 20,000 soldiers and civilian workers. The post supports over 110,000 military retirees and more than 25,000 family members living both on and off post.
