History
In 2005, Naval Air Station (NAS) Brunswick, Maine was designated for closure under the authority of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act (BRAC) of 1990, Public Law 101-510 as amended. BRAC legislation requires that the base closure be in full compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The operational closure date for NAS Brunswick is September 15, 2011, and mission operations are scheduled for relocation to NAS Jacksonville, Florida beginning in 2008.
NAS Brunswick is located in Cumberland County, Maine, and was first commissioned on April 15, 1943. The base remained active for four years, and was subsequently deactivated in 1947. On March 15, 1951, the dormant-air station was re-commissioned as a Naval Air Facility with the established mission of supporting three land-plane patrol squadrons and one Fleet Aircraft Service Squadron, and a planned future mission as a master jet air station with a primary mission of anti-submarine warfare.
On July 1, 1971 Commander Patrol Wings United States Atlantic Fleet/Commander Patrol Wing Five established its headquarters at NAS Brunswick. Changes have occurred on the Air Station since 1971 so that at present, three patrol squadrons flying the P3 Orion perform their duties at NAS Brunswick. In addition, two reserve squadrons are also based at NAS Brunswick along with VPU-1 mission, the Naval Reserve Center and the Air Reserve Center. NAS Brunswick also provides support for the ships at Bath, and various northeastern Naval activities.
