FLEET WEEK SAN DIEGO 2010

Fleet Week San Diego is the nation’s largest tribute to our military’s men and women who dedicate their lives to defend our freedom and way of life. It is a unique way to honor our Sailors, Marines, and Coastguardsmen here in their home town. San Diego’s military history is extensive and the positive impact the military has on the community has been recorded through the decades. In the years before Fleet Week, San Diego saluted the achievements of Sailors and Marines with, “Accolades,” which began in 1986. In 1995, a group of civic-minded business leaders created the concept of “Fleet Week San Diego,” modeling their vision after the Fleet Week celebration in San Francisco. The proposed plan appealed to the community because of the patriotic focus of the events and the opportunity Fleet Week would provide to educate the region about the importance of the military to our economy and our community. The first Fleet Week celebration in San Diego was held in the summer of 1997. From its inception, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the San Diego Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, government entities, San Diego’s

business leaders and the military all supported and participated in the celebration of the military men and women and their families. Each year, the event has become more popular with the business community, as well as the military, their families and the public. Initially, the event was offered during the summer months, but in 2000, the event was moved to October to incorporate the Marine Corps’ Miramar Air Show and the Coronado Speed Festival. In 2001, the San Diego Fleet Week Foundation was formed to promote this growing annual event. This new organization is made possible with a small fulltime staff, a volunteer board of directors, and a myriad of volunteers who help plan, coordinate and staff the events. The foundation raises sponsorship money to produce the events which foster awareness of the military in the community. After expenses are paid the proceeds are donated to charitable organizations that directly benefit our enlisted service members and their families. Fleet Week allows the community an opportunity to get a “close-up” look at the efforts and contributions of our region’s military and to show their appreciation for the courage and commitment of our military.

Vice Admiral Al Myers

San Diego’s unique and strategic location on the Southern California coast make it ideal for the Navy and Marines to operate as our nation’s premier maritime security force. The city of San Diego has hosted the Navy team since the turn of the 19th century and our presence here has grown ever since. We are proud of the partnerships that continue to grow between our local governments, agencies, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard teams, and look forward to continuing to foster these relationships for many years into the future. We are as much a part of San Diego as San Diego is a part of us. We could not ask for a better host city — one where each and every Sailor and Marine is embraced by the community and treated with kindness and respect. Thank you to the citizens and community leaders of America’s Finest City for taking such good care of the men and women of your nation’s armed services.

Naval Aviation proudly traces its roots to San Diego. Our rich legacy began here in 1911 at what is now North Island -- home to three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, seventeen active and reserve helicopter and fixedwing squadrons, and the headquarters of Commander, Naval Air Forces, overseeing Naval Aviation worldwide. Fleet Week presents the perfect opportunity to view some of our most technologically advanced and capable assets. More importantly, I hope you’ll take the opportunity to meet some of the young men and women who proudly serve in the Navy and Marine Corps. While our equipment and technology enable us to defend our nation against the enemies of freedom, it is the dedication and commitment of our people that ensures our success. I am especially proud of the nearly 100 year relationship between the city and Naval Aviation, and we are grateful for the unwavering support of the San Diego community that underscores this Fleet Week. Thank you!

Fleet Week is also an opportunity to thank the local Sailors and Marines who have returned home after long deployments, and to welcome those who are new to the San Diego area. While you are enjoying the Fleet Week festivities, please take a moment to remember all those who are currently deployed and offer a wish for their safekeeping. Thank you for your continued support of all of our men and women in uniform. I’ll see you on the waterfront!

The Sailors stationed here, enjoy a level of support that is second to none and they take great pride in calling America’s Finest City home. We believe it is important to be more than neighbors; our Sailors and their families are your coaches, teachers, nurses, and serve this community in countless other ways. The mission of Navy Region Southwest is to provide professional support services to the warriors who fly and maintain the aircraft, man the ships, or in other ways serve their nation while deploying globally, battling the enemy or participating in humanitarian assistance missions. Our priority is to fulfill our role in a manner that is mission driven while being fiscally and environmentally responsible. Put simply, each of the Navy’s bases in San Diego is dedicated to building and maintaining our military readiness and continuing to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us.

French, is the leader in Navy shore installation management, providing shore support for the Pacific Fleet and its Sailors in California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Navy Region Southwest support directly impacts the readiness of the military’s operational forces dealing with the management of port and air operations, training ranges, force protection, environmental and safety programs and information technology. The Region supports more than 1/3 of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which includes more than 50 ships and 50 aircraft squadrons flying more than 500 aircraft. Additionally, the Region provides similar resources and support to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units from all over the country who travel to our Region for critical, location-specific training, joint exercises, fleet integration and deployment certification. Since its establishment in 1998, Navy Region Southwest has continued to redefine its business ashore. It has successfully implemented a regional organization that manages its base operation support functions using the best business practices to find efficiencies. The Region conducts its mission in a cost effective manner and provides first-class service to its customers. By managing services across the Region instead of base to base, significant cost efficiencies have been realized. These savings are being re-invested 20

by the Navy to modernize the Fleet. The centralized program management organization and decentralized implementation of base operating services make the Region leaner and more efficient, as it continually strives for even greater excellence and improvements. Always striving to remain a good steward of the taxpayers’ dollars, CNRSW constantly works to reduce costs. Program managers work tirelessly to find new and improved ways to work with private industries to provide service members and customers with the highest level of service at the lowest price. A friend to the environment, CNRSW oversees all the Naval Environmental Programs and continues to demonstrate its ability to balance fleet readiness with environmental protection. With the motto, “One Team, One Voice, One Mission,” Navy Region Southwest is dedicated to providing the highest level of base operating support and quality of life services to all of the operating forces and shore activities in our area of responsibility. Facilities under the Region’s management include Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Coronado, Naval Base Point Loma, Naval Base Ventura County, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, Naval Air Station Lemoore, Naval Air Facility El Centro, Naval Post Graduate, School Monterey, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona, and Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada.

The United States Navy divides responsibility for the world’s oceans into seven numbered fleets. Vice Admiral Richard W. Hunt is the Commander of the U.S. Navy’s Third Fleet. With the support of an international staff of around 300 officers and enlisted personnel, VADM Hunt directs Third Fleet from his headquarters located near Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma, Calif. Third Fleet’s area of responsibility encompasses over 50 million square miles of sea and land -- from the North Pole to the South Pole, from the west coast of the United States to the International Date Line. Five aircraft carriers with associated aircraft squadrons, 4 amphibious ready groups, 53 combatants, 15 auxiliary ships, and 34 submarines are homeported in three primary fleet concentration areas -- San Diego, Hawaii and Washington State. Major trade sea lanes within this area are critically important to the economic health of the United States and partner nations throughout the region. Third Fleet responsibilities are broken down into seven mission areas: • Plan and Execute Naval Operations…Third Fleet’s primary mission is to command fleet operations and defend the western sea approaches to the United States. • Provide Maritime Homeland Defense… Working in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps, Third Fleet is a key component of the nation’s homeland defense.

COMMANDER, SUBMARINE FORCE, U.S. PACIFIC FLEET Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet is the principal advisor to the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet for submarine matters. The Pacific Submarine Force includes attack, ballistic missile, and guided-missile submarines, two submarine tenders, floating submarine dock and a submarine rescue capability. The Force provides anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, precision land strike, mine warfare, battlespace preparation, irregular warfare, and special warfare capabilities to the U.S. Pacific Command, and strategic deterrence capabilities to the U.S. Strategic Command. The Force mission is to provide the training, logistical plans, manpower and operational support and tactical development necessary to ensure the Force can respond to both peacetime and wartime demands. The evolution of submarines from purely seaoriented weapons to multi-mission sea and land strike platforms makes them ideally suited to keep pace with a rapidly changing global mission, and they have become increasingly involved in response to regional tensions. The speed, stealth, endurance and firepower of today’s nuclear submarines were demonstrated in Operation Enduring Freedom and during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 when several U.S. submarines participated as active combatants by firing cruise missiles in coalition force strike missions. The 21st century promises new challenges and opportunities for U.S. submariners. Nuclear-powered guided missile submarines and the Virginiaclass submarines directly support the core capabilities of the nation’s Maritime Strategy. The Navy converted four Ohio-class Trident submarines (SSBNs) to guided cruise missile submarines, two of which are homeported in the Pacific, USS Ohio (SSGN 726) and USS Michigan (SSGN 727). They have the payload and

endurance to address new targets that include fastmoving, elusive insurgents, terrorists and rogue state units. Each of the converted submarines has the capability to launch up to 154 Tomahawk or Tactical Tomahawk land attack missiles, and support up to 66 special operations forces. The Virginia-class submarine is the first submarine designed to operate in today’s undersea environment to dominate both the littorals and the deep oceans. It is multi-mission capable with mission areas that include anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare; strike; special operations; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; strike group support; and mine warfare. The Pacific Fleet Submarine Force welcomed to the Pacific Virginia-class submarines USS Hawaii (SSN 776) and USS Texas (SSN 775) in 2009. In the fall of 2010, USS North Carolina (SSN 777) will be the third Virginia-class submarine stationed in the Pacific. New technologies such as unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs), being developed for reconnaissance and mine warfare missions, hold the potential to vastly improve a submarine’s mission capability. New communications capabilities mated with submarine-launched unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could result in U.S. submarines independently detecting and destroying targets far inland. Special Forces teams will launch from attack submarines and guided missile submarines to conduct missions at sea and ashore. The legacy of the Pacific Submarine Force, established in World War II, continues today. Armed with the finest ships in the world, manned by the most professional Sailors, the Pacific Submarine Force will continue to ensure America’s critical access to the world’s ocean trade routes, provide credible defense against any hostile maritime forces, and project power from the sea to the shore whenever needed.

SUBMARINE SQUADRON ELEVEN Submarine Squadron 11 commanded by Capt. Richard Correll, consists of six Los Angeles class nuclear-powered submarines – USS Albuquerque (SSN 706), USS Asheville (SSN 758), USS Hampton (SSN 767), USS Jefferson City (SSN 759), USS San Francisco (SSN 711), and USS Topeka (SSN 754). Submarine Squadron 11 is also home to three Torpedo Weapons Retrievers – Narwhal (TWR 842), Swamp Fox (TWR 821) and Devil Ray (TWR 6), as well as floating dry dock, Arco (ARDM 5). The squadron staff is responsible for providing training, material and personnel readiness support for all units. Submarine Squadron 11 was commissioned July 1, 1986, aboard her flagship, USS McKee (AS 41), at Naval Base Point Loma. As a result of a reorganization Commander, Submarine Group 5. Captain W. L. Hicks was assigned as the first squadron commander. Submarine Squadron 11 has evolved over the years and now has submarines that represent some of the most capable attack submarines in the world. More than 100 officers and 900 enlisted personnel, overseen by the squadron staff of 23 officers and 47 enlisted personnel, man Squadron 11 units. Submarine Squadron 11 units maintain a very aggressive operational schedule, including training and operations with other ships in the Southern California operating area, independent operations to enhance readiness

and six-month deployments to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans. Their missions include anti-submarine, anti-surface ship, strike, special and mine warfare, surveillance and intelligence monitoring and detecting. Submarines continue to bring flexibility, persistence, agility and mobility to the Global War on Terrorism, operating both independently and with Carrier Strike Groups.

NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO As the Navy’s premier Pacific Fleet surface force installation, Naval Base San Diego (NBSD) provides comprehensive fleet support for 59 home ported ships and more than 120 tenant commands, utilizing the services or products of more than 2,500 contractors. NBSD is comprised of the main Naval Base on the San Diego Bay, as well as the Broadway Complex, which serves as the headquarters for Navy Region Southwest; the Naval Medical Center San Diego complex; which serves as the home for the Bob Wilson Naval Hospital and Naval Medicine West; and the Admiral Baker Golf Course and Recreation Center, which serves the recreational needs of Sailors, family members and retirees throughout the region. The base also oversees 16 housing areas, including the large Murphy Canyon housing complex, which provides more than 4,900 homes for Navy families. Naval units based at NBSD have played a major role in the Global War on Terrorism and the Navy’s efforts to relieve suffering and build partnerships through disaster relief and humanitarian outreach deployments. Many of the ships stationed at NBSD, including the hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19), have taken part in disaster relief missions and conducted humanitarian missions such as Pacific Partnership and Continuing Promise. During the last year, NBSD has served as an ambassador for the Navy and nation, hosting successful port visits with ships from Japan, Portugal and Canada. Since it was established by the Acting Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in 1922, the base 28

has undergone four name changes, but its mission has remained the same: to support the fleet, fighter and family. In response to the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review shifting naval forces to the Pacific area of operations, NBSD will gain an additional 8 ships by 2014. In 2010, NBSD was proud to become the home port for the Navy’s first Littoral Combat Ship, USS Freedom (LCS 1) and will be receiving USS Independence (LCS 2) in 2011. Through new commissionings and changes of home ports, other warships that have come or will arrive to NBSD include USS Sterett (DDG 104), USS Green Bay (LPD 20), USS Stockdale (DDG 106), USS Dewey (DDG 105), USS Myer (DDG 108), USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49), USS Lawrence (DDG 110), USS Anchorage (LPD 23), USS Essex (LHD 2) and USS San Diego (LPD 22). Always dedicated to providing the greatest possible shore support, NBSD is on the vanguard of quality of life initiatives for the Navy. NBSD is home to the U.S. Navy’s first public private venture (PPV) Bachelor Housing project, Pacific Beacon. Pacific Beacon includes apartment-style living quarters with resortstyle amenities for single Sailors assigned to NBSD and supporting units. By nearly doubling the amount of living quarters available on the base, Pacific Beacon is redefining quality of life for single Sailors. Respectful of the natural beauty of San Diego, NBSD continues to emphasize protecting our environment and conserving our energy. The base employs a permanent booming system around the piers and booms off every ship in

port to contain inadvertent oil spills. A Port Operations Facility Response Team is available to respond 24/7 to minimize environmental damage from such incidents. For its efforts, NBSD has won the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Secretary of the Navy Energy and Water Management Platinum Award. In 2010, NBSD won the overall Navy small shore installation category. Even though NBSD is one of the largest bases in the Navy, it was judged in the small shore category due to the low amounts of energy consumed by the base. In 2009, the Navy Region Southwest recycling center located on NBSD diverted 70% of construction and demolition debris created on base, saving over $230,000 in landfill costs and diverted 29% of municipal solid waste saving an additional estimated $219,000 in landfill costs. Initial estimates for 2010 show higher diversion rates and recycling. The recycling center was named City of San Diego Recycler of the Year in 2009 and 2010 for diverting construction debris from the city landfill and for its large-scale recycling efforts overall. The City of San Diego is now modeling its construction demolition debris program after the Navy’s recycling program. NBSD has also conserved one of our most precious resources by saving an estimated 10.9 million gallons of water a year by installing artificial turf, smart irrigation and xeriscape projects in addition to installing low flow urinals, showerheads and promoting efficient use of water to Sailors and commands. Efforts to ensure water is used most efficiently on base are continually being implemented. Naval Base San Diego is leading the way in the military’s broader initiative to reduce water usage by 16% by 2015. The base is also responsible for starting new innovative events such as an electronic waste recycling event and hazardous waste turn-in event. These convenient events assisted commands in properly and safely disposing and/or recycling old, unwanted material. In the past year, NBSD has collected over 53 tons of electronic material and appliances and over 6 tons of hazardous waste. NBSD is engaged in the local community by working with city leaders in San Diego’s Barrio Logan community and National City to ensure the concerns of the community are heard and respected. While providing outstanding support to the Fleet, Fighter and Family, Naval Base San Diego is a good neighbor and valued member of the national defense establishment and the local community.

NAVAL MEDICAL CENTER, SAN DIEGO Naval medical activities first appeared in San Diego in 1914, when a field hospital was set up in Balboa Park to support an encampment of Marines on North Island, across San Diego Bay. World War I saw a medical facility officially established on the old Pan-American Exposition grounds in 1917, and two years later the facility was renamed United States Naval Hospital San Diego. Inspiration Point, in Balboa Park, would become the site for the new Naval hospital which was commissioned Aug. 22, 1922. World War II increased the Naval hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempo with approximately 173,000 patients treated. Korea and Vietnam followed and Navy medicine saw a vast improvement in battlefield evacuation techniques. A service member could be admitted 30 hours or less after becoming wounded in Southeast Asia. Today, Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) provides the highest quality medical care across the full spectrum of patient needs, emphasizing safety, service, teamwork, effectiveness and efficiency earning reaccreditation in July by the Joint Commission with nine best practices identified. The 6,200 military, civilian, contract, and volunteer staff serve a beneficiary population of about 100,000 active duty and retired personnel, and their families. Facilities include a 268-bed multi-specialty hospital, along with 11 primary care clinics and 10 free-standing dental clinics extending from San Clemente Island to El Centro. NMCSD has and continues to support operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Djibouti. Already in 2010, NMCSD has deployed 582 personnel forward as individual augmentees. In January 2010, 64 NMCSD doctors, nurses, hospital corpsman and support staff deployed in support of Operation Unified Response, providing humanitarian assistance to Haiti after a catastrophic earthquake. More than 150 staff members are currently deployed in support of Pacific Partnership 2010 aboard USNS (TAH19), providing a variety of medical, dental, humanitarian and civic action missions in the Western Pacific. 32

The Comprehensive Combat and Complex Casualty Care (C5) program officially began in September 2006, with the grand opening of a $4.4 million facility in October 2007, to provide medical care, rehabilitation, family support, and transition services for wounded, ill and injured service members from all military branches. Since its establishment, more than 1,400 service members have been evaluated and treated through C5, to include 70 amputees. Additionally, the Balboa Career Transition Center (BCTC) provides benefits and claims support, vocational rehabilitative services, career guidance, and employment assistance to wounded, ill and injured service members through partnerships with the Department of Labor, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the California Employment Development Department. NMCSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs are nationally recognized for their quality by the Accreditation Council on GME, offering 25 postgraduate training programs for doctors, in areas ranging from Emergency Medicine to Anesthesia, as well as programs for dentists, pharmacists, and psychologists.

COMMANDER, FLEET AND INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY CENTERS Commander, Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers (COMFISCS), a major Navy operational logistics command headquartered in downtown San Diego, Calif., at Broadway and Harbor Drive, provides an array of integrated global logistics and contracting services to Navy, Marine Corps, and joint operational units across all warfare enterprises. Naval logistics has been a key component of the fabric of the San Diego waterfront for 90 years. COMFISCS comprises more than 5,000 military and civilian logistics professionals operating as a single cohesive team providing global logistics services from 110 locations worldwide. A component of the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), COMFISCS is part of a worldwide logistics network of more than 22,500 military and civilian personnel. The COMFISCS mission is to provide Navy, Marine Corps, and joint and allied forces with global logistics capabilities enabling them to take the fight to the enemy. COMFISCS provides full-spectrum logistics capabilities to naval forces, contracting support for both shore-based and operational forces, and facilitates best business practices and efficiencies across the seven FISCs headquartered in San Diego, Calif.; Norfolk, Va.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Yokosuka, Japan; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Bremerton (Puget Sound), Wash.; and Sigonella, Italy. COMFISCS monitors waterfront support performance; manages FISC operations and ten products and services—contracting, regional transportation, fuels, material management, hazardous material management, household goods movement support, postal and consolidated mail, warehousing, global logistics and husbanding, integrated logistics support; and provides base supply support for Navy installations worldwide. The Chief of Naval Operations has repeatedly stated that a global Navy requires global logistics.

The COMFISCS team is delivering the global logistics support essential to our warfighters’ ability to forward deploy and maintain large task forces to fight and win wars and to quickly employ smaller, mission-tailored forces to respond to crises and contingencies anywhere in the world, at any time. Our execution of this global logistics support effort entails a pointed and deliberate orientation toward the operational commanders — the numbered fleets — and their maritime operations centers and logistics readiness centers. Our agility in supply chain management, contingency contracting, operational logistics, fuels management and physical distribution is a key success factor in the persistent presence of the Navy-Marine Corps war fighting team. Our logistics teams are sustaining the Navy’s ships, submarines, aircraft, shore commands and expeditionary forces with the essential items needed to execute their missions. They are also providing business expertise in supply, logistics, acquisition and financial management. The Navy operational commanders, Marines and Special Operations forces look to our field contracting teams to deliver contracted capability in theater to support traditional pier-side ship support in foreign ports, and other operations, exercises, humanitarian and civic assistance, and theater security cooperation engagements. Today, the FISCs are poised to support the Navy’s newest class of ship, the Littoral Combat Ship, with shore-based logistics support teams that perform many of the supply functions traditionally accomplished by a ship’s crew. Through logistics, COMFISCS is supporting the Maritime Strategy — Forward Presence, Deterrence, Sea Control, Power Projection, Maritime Security, Humanitarian Assistance, and Disaster Response. Being globally present, with an efficient and effective global logistics team, is the best way to protect our homeland.

SEALIFT LOGISTICS COMMAND PACIFIC Sealift Logistics Command Pacific, or SEALOGPAC, exercises operational control over Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships operating in the Eastern Pacific. MSC’s combat logistics ships, operated by civil service U.S. Merchant Marine mariners, support the U.S. Navy’s Third Fleet by delivering fuel, food, and supplies to ships underway, allowing them to remain at sea for extended periods of time. Ships under SEALOGPAC’s control also transport vital military cargo to forces ashore overseas and support special Department of Defense missions such as the bi-annual humanitarian deployments of hospital ship USNS Mercy. SEALOGPAC’s operational area of responsibility covers more than 50 million square miles in the Eastern Pacific, coinciding with the Navy’s Third Fleet. SEALOGPAC, established in 1949 as Military Sea Transportation Service West, was originally located at the Fleet Industrial Supply Center in Oakland, Calif. In 1998, the renamed Military Sealift Command Pacific relocated to the command’s present location in San Diego at Naval Base Point Loma. In 2005, Military Sealift Command Pacific became Sealift Logistics Command Pacific as part of Military Sealift Command’s global transformation. With nearly 30 military and civilian team members, SEALOGPAC is one of five Military Sealift Command geographical area operational commands worldwide. Sealift Logistics Command Pacific also commands ship husbanding representatives in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and San Francisco, Calif., and Seattle, Wash. These outport offices provide administrative, material and logistical support services for Military Sealift Command ships and serve as a liaison to the various military commands in their respective areas. Six U.S. Naval Reserve units are assigned to SEALOGPAC. These units are frequently called upon to support strategic sealift and combat logistics operations throughout the SEALOGPAC area of responsibility.

SEALOGPAC ships play a major role in supporting fourteen annual and bi-annual exercises in the Pacific, including RIMPAC, Fleet Week San Diego, Fleet Week San Francisco, Northern Edge, Pacific Provider, Operation Safeport and Operation Deep Freeze (the annual resupply of the National Science Foundation’s operation at McMurdo Station, Antarctica). Military Sealift Command’s San Diego operations also include a modern training site and a firefighting school for civil service Merchant Marine mariners working for Military Sealift Command. Military Sealift Fleet Support Command’s Ship Support Unit San Diego is co-located with SEALOGPAC and provides maintenance and administrative support to SEALOGPAC’s combat logistics force ships.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest is one of 10 facilities engineering commands (FECs) in NAVFAC. The command is comprised of about 3,700 civilian and military personnel. NAVFAC Southwest is responsible for the public works, planning, engineering/design, construction, real estate, environmental services, and acquisition/disposal of facilities and real estate in a six state area on the West Coast. NAVFAC Southwest contracts with commercial businesses to produce and deliver construction for the military

such as housing, piers, airfields and hospitals to name a few. The command also provides public works services such as transportation, maintenance, utilities, energy delivery, facilities management and base operations support to the Navy and Marine Corps Installations within its geographic area of responsibility as well as support to other federal agencies in California. NAVFAC Southwest’s annual workload is $3.2 billion in client work on the West Coast resulting in huge economic impacts for many communities.

FLEET READINESS CENTER SOUTHWEST The Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW), on Naval Air Station North Island, is one of three Fleet Readiness Centers that provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul services to Navy and Marine Corps aircraft of all types. The command was originally established in 1919 and changed its name to Fleet Readiness Center in October 2006. It is the Navy’s premier maintenance facility specializing in the overhaul, repair, and modification of Navy and Marine Corps front line tactical and logistics aircraft and their components. In fiscal year 200, FRCSW repaired and returned 284 aircraft to the fleet. Those aircraft included: FA-18 Hornets, the Navy’s premier fighter-attack jet; the E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft; the C-2A Greyhound carrier-based logistical support aircraft; the Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier multi-role fighterattack jet; the Navy’s H-60 Seahawk multi-mission helicopter; and a variety of Marine Corps helicopters to include the H-53 Sea Stallion heavy-lift, AH-1 Cobra attack, and UH-1 Huey general purpose helicopters. FRCSW manages numerous production lines from its facilities located at several military installations. Those bases include: Naval Air Stations North Island and Point Mugu, Naval Base Point Loma, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in Calif.; and Marine Corps Air Stations Yuma, Ariz., and Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. FRCSW is the lead repair organization worldwide performing overhaul and modification of the F/A-18 Hornet. More than 120 of these vital fighter aircraft 36

pass through various overhaul or repair processes at the command annually. The F/A-18 service-life extension program, known as a Center Barrel replacement, is a major modification being performed at FRCSW. The Center Barrel section is the backbone of the aircraft, where the nose, engines, wings, and landing gear all attach. As the original designer and builder of the Center Barrel replacement capability for the F/A-18, FRCSW proposed this repair method to the Navy in 1991 in an effort to extend the useful life of each airframe, thus avoiding substantial aircraft replacement costs. It became a standard high flight hour repair for necessary aircraft in 1997. Modern aircraft cannot fly without properly functioning components. Skilled artisans and Sailors at FRCSW repair a wide variety of aircraft components and their associated parts at all locations. The Component program boasts repair capability on more than 11,700 different parts, and returns nearly 50,000 repaired units annually into the defense supply system. FRCSW operates the Navy Primary Standards Laboratory, providing calibration services worldwide at a level second only to those of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The adjacent Materials Engineering Laboratory provides a variety of services and has the Navy’s only aircraft tire engineering and laser tire testing capability.

FRCSW is also the sole Navy repair site for the LM-2500 gas turbine engine, which is used to power Aegis-, Ticonderoga-, and Perry-class surface ships. FRCSW’s manufacturing facilities provide an invaluable industrial capability to the Navy. Its ability to produce intricate metal and composite components assures the service a capability to meet emergency requirements. These facilities are fully permitted and environmentally safe, in one of the country’s most stringently-controlled environmental areas. The command has a history of environmental excellence. FRCSW is registered to the International Organization of Standards (ISO) 14001 Environmental Management Standard (first in the Department of Defense to register to this standard). The command has received two White House Closing the Circle Awards for continuous environmental improvement a Secretary of the Navy Environmental Quality; Secretary of the Navy Gold Award for energy management; and Chief of Naval Operations Award for Environmental Quality. In 2009 FRCSW also received the Department of Defense Environmental Sustainment Award. The command leadership and artisans, working together, utilize the latest innovative management technologies to reduce cost and find production efficiencies at all levels in an effort to provide extraordinary value and readiness to the Fleet. Those management efficiencies and techniques have become the model throughout the service. These production efficiencies have been rewarded by being selected in 2008 to receive a Shingo Silver Medallion award for operational excellence in the

U.S. NAVY

public sector, and an honorable mention trophy in the North American Process Excellence award from the International Quality and Productivity Center (IQPC). Other awards include being named the Gold Level winner for the 2009 California Award for Performance Excellence (CAPE) as well as being a five-time recipient (three best in class designations) for the CAPE in previous years; a U.S. Senate Productivity Award; Secretary of the Navy Award for Navy Safety Ashore for a large industrial facility; Secretary of the Navy Award for Navy Safety Ashore for an individual; and a Secretary of the Navy Hispanic Employment Achievement Award.

Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM) in San Diego, Calif. is an Echelon II command, the Navy’s special operations force and the maritime component to United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Fla. NSW is comprised of approximately 8,400 total personnel, including more than 2,400 active-duty SEALs and 700 Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC), nearly 700 reserve personnel, 4,100 support personnel and 1,100 civilians. With an annual budget of approximately 17 percent of USSOCOM’s total operating budget, NSW constitutes a small investment, but provides tremendous strategic military value. Major Operational Commands • Naval Special Warfare Group ONE, San Diego • Naval Special Warfare Group THREE, San Diego • Naval Special Warfare Group ELEVEN (Reserve), San Diego • Naval Special Warfare Group TWO, Norfolk, Va. • Naval Special Warfare Group FOUR, Norfolk, Va. • Naval Special Warfare Center, San Diego • Naval Special Warfare Development Group, Norfolk, Va. 42

NSW Groups train, equip, and deploy components of NSW Squadrons to meet the exercise, contingency and wartime requirements of the regional Combatant Commanders, theater special operations commands and numbered fleets located around the world. Additionally, they receive support from permanently deployed NSW units in Guam, Bahrain and Germany. Naval Special Warfare Center provides basic and advanced instruction and training in maritime special operations to U.S. military and government personnel and members of other allied armed forces. Naval Special Warfare Development Group is responsible for the testing, evaluation and development of technology and maritime, ground and airborne tactics applicable to NSW forces, with possible applicability DoD-wide. NSW Squadrons are built around entire SEAL Teams deploying and include their senior leadership, a SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team and Special Boat Teams, as well as personnel detachments such as mobile communications teams, tactical cryptologic support and explosive ordnance disposal personnel. Naval Special Warfare Squadrons are among the most responsive, versatile and effective force packages fighting the global war on terrorism today. In addition to SEALS being experts in special reconnaissance and direct action missions — the skill

sets needed to combat terrorism — NSW is postured to fight a dispersed enemy on their turf, to interdict enemy forces, ashore or afloat before they can act. NSW forces can operate in small groups from 4 to 8 to 16 or more (depending on the mission) and have a continuous overseas global presence with their ability to quickly deploy from Navy ships, submarines and aviation platforms, overseas bases and NSW’s forward-based units. Immediately following the attacks on America in 2001, NSW forces put operators on the ground in Afghanistan. The first U.S. military flag or general officer to set foot in Afghanistan was a Navy SEAL in charge of all special operations for Central Command. Additionally, a Navy SEAL captain commanded Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force (CJSOTF) South. Commonly referred to as Task Force K-BAR, the Task Force which included U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Coalition SOF forces earned a Presidential Unit Citation for their efforts during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). NSW forces carried out more than 75 special reconnaissance and direct action missions, destroying more than 500,000 pounds of explosives and weapons; positively identifying enemy personnel and conducting leadership interdiction operations in the search for terrorists trying to escape by sea-going vessels. NSW forces continue to operate in Afghanistan, routing Taliban and other terrorist forces. Naval Special Warfare has played a significant role in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), employing the largest number of SEALs and SWCC in its history. NSW forces were instrumental in numerous special reconnaissance and direct action missions, including the securing of the southern oil infrastructures of the Al Faw peninsula and the off-shore gas and oil terminals; the clearing of the Khor Al Abdullah and Khor Az Zubayar waterways that enabled humanitarian aid to be delivered to the vital port city of Umm Qasr; reconnaissance of the Shat Al Arab waterway; capture of high value targets, raids on suspected chemical, biological and radiological sites; and the first successful prisoner of war (POW) rescue since WWII.

Naval Special Warfare, along with all other U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) have been at the tip of the spear in overseas contingency operations from the very beginning. SOF-unique skills continue to be in high demand and today has the highest number of SEAL flag officers in its history. This includes the first four-star SEAL who is also the first Navy officer to command USSOCOM, Adm. Eric T. Olson. With its increased responsibilities, the Department of Defense (DoD) has seen an increase in resources and authorities in order to prosecute the war on terror. Additionally, NSW’s contributions to OEF and OIF have resulted in unprecedented attention including significant high level visits by the Chief of Naval Operations, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of Defense, the Vice President and the President. NSW has been recognized for successfully carrying out DoD’s most important war fighting missions, and the community and its personnel have been awarded every significant award, including two SEALs receiving the nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor. NSW is also currently fighting the war on terrorism in other global hot spots, including the Philippines and the Horn of Africa. 44

U.S. Navy SEAL teams are maritime, multi-purpose combat forces organized, trained and equipped to conduct a variety of special missions in all operational environments and threat conditions. They maintain a forward presence, regional orientation, language skills, and cultural awareness as they conduct operations throughout the world. SEALs infiltrate their objective areas by fixed and rotor-winged aircraft, Navy surface ships, combatant craft and submarines. Operating in small numbers, SEALs’ ability to conduct clandestine, high-risk missions and provide real time intelligence and eyes on target, offer decision-makers immediate and virtually unlimited options in the face of rapidly changing wartime situations. NSW special mission areas include special reconnaissance, direct action, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, information warfare, security assistance, counter-drug operations and personnel recovery. Global Access. With half the world’s industry and population located within one mile of an ocean or navigable river and 144 of 170 sovereign nations accessible from sea or river systems, Naval Special Warfare’s unique maritime

capabilities make it a proven force for the future. Additionally, NSW forces train for contingencies in all environments. Whether it is in the snow-capped mountains of Afghanistan, the jungles of the Philippines, or the waters of the Arabian Gulf, SEAL and SWCC warriors have proven themselves as Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most versatile and effective military force. Systems Integration. By integrating a number of significant communication systems and reach back technology, NSW is able to provide its forces with the operational picture, continuous battle space awareness and technical resources necessary to rapidly communicate and conduct worldwide collaborative joint mission planning. NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) Team in Pearl City, Hawaii is manned by specially trained SEALs and support personnel who operate and maintain the SDVs and Dry Deck Shelters (DDS). SDVs are wet submersibles designed to conduct clandestine reconnaissance, direct actions and passenger delivery missions in maritime environments. DDS deliver SDVs and specially trained forces from modified submarines. When teamed with their host submarines,

SDV and DDS platforms provide the most clandestine maritime delivery capability in the world. Special Boat Teams: NSW surface platforms include the 11-meter Rigid-hull Inflatable Boats, MK V Special Operations Craft, and Special Operations Craft - Riverine. Special Boat Teams are located in San Diego, California; Norfolk, Virginia; and Stennis, Mississippi. Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) operate and maintain these state-of-the art, high performance boats used to clandestinely insert and extract SEALs, conduct maritime interdiction operations and support special operations missions. SWCC are trained extensively in craft and weapons tactics, techniques and procedures. Like SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen must be physically fit, highly motivated, combat-focused and responsive in high stress situations. SWCC provide dedicated rapid mobility in shallow water areas where larger ships cannot operate.

MARINE CORPS RECRUIT DEPOT In the early 1900s, San Diego was selected as a site to establish a Marine Corps base, and since 1923 it has been a place that has challenged young men both mentally and physically to earn the coveted title of Marine. Currently, we transform more than 19,000 male recruits into Marines each year. The depot’s commanding general is also responsible for recruiting from the western two thirds of the U.S., known as the Western Recruiting Region. A team of more than 1,500 Marines enlists over 30,000 young men and women from across the U.S. each year. A basically trained Marine undergoes nearly 13 weeks of the most demanding and arduous training in the country. The recruits train hard to acquire the knowledge, discipline, teamwork, and fitness level required of a Marine. The physical training program at recruit training is progressive and designed to build strength, flexibility and endurance. The recruits’ physical and mental endurance are tested daily. The recruits also receive classes on general military subjects. The Marine Corps instills core values of honor, courage, and commitment through practical application and discussion. The drill instructors teach recruits the importance of honesty, reliability, and teamwork. Upon completion of the first four weeks of training aboard the depot, recruits move to Weapons and Field Training Battalion, located 40 miles north at Edson Range, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif. During their three weeks at Edson Range, the recruits undergo marksmanship training, martial arts sustainment training, and field training which introduce them to a variety of basic infantry skills. During the last phase of recruit training, recruits return 48

to the depot and are graded on the physical fitness test, military skills, and drill, as well as being inspected by the battalion commander. During the 11th week of boot camp, all of the recruits’ training and hard work are put to the test during the Crucible, a 54-hour event. For this demanding event, recruits return to Edson Range to encounter a series of 25 challenges, distributed over a course covering more than 40 miles, while catching just four hours of sleep each night, and eating only three meals over the three-day period. Each of the 25 events presents strenuous mental and physical challenges, requiring the recruits to work together as a team. This is a significant feature because no one completes the Crucible as an individual. They surmount the challenges and prevail as a team. At the end of the Crucible recruits embark on a nine-mile hike. Exhausted and hungry, recruits go through the defining moment in boot camp where, upon successful completion, they are awarded the coveted Marine Corps eagle, globe, and anchor emblem from their drill instructors during an emotional ceremony. Here they are addressed as “Marine” for the first time. After 12 challenging weeks, and with the Crucible now behind them, graduation day finally arrives. Graduation draws more than 90,000 visitors to San Diego each year. These visitors not only take the time to visit the command museum and our numerous buildings on the National Registry of Historic Places, but also see the many sights of San Diego.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON Since 1942, San Diego County has been home to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. With an approximate daily population of 60,000, Camp Pendleton is one of the Department of Defense’s busiest installations. Located approximately 38 miles north of downtown San Diego and 82 miles south of Los Angeles, Camp Pendleton has been the largest North County employer for over 50 years with more than 43,500 Marines, sailors and their families calling it home. Once a peaceful cattle ranch obtained by a Spanish land grant, Camp Pendleton’s lands were secured at the outset of WWII to fill an immediate need for valuable amphibious and land-based training areas. Today the base is named in honor of Major General Joseph H. Pendleton, who went on to become the mayor of Coronado from 1928-1930. Camp Pendleton is home to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Logistics Group, Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, elements of the 3rd Marine Air Wing, and the Navy’s Assault Craft Unit 5, in addition to other tenant commands and units. As the largest West Coast amphibious assault training facility, Camp Pendleton encompasses more than 125,000 acres of Southern California. The 17.5 miles of shoreline and mountainous terrain support a variety of military training for our Operating Forces, as well as national, state and local agencies. Camp Pendleton has a long history of nurturing positive relationships with the surrounding communities. The base hosts several annual events in which the leadership and VIP dignitaries of surrounding communities are invited to attend. The base is also involved in the local school districts. We have Command-appointed base representatives assigned to four local School Districts. Five elementary schools from two local school districts are located on the base. Programs such as Adopt-a-School program, which provides mentoring & assistance to local public schools, as well as the School-to-Career

program and the School Liaison Officer Program enrich the strong ties Camp Pendleton shares with the local community. Here at Camp Pendleton we are also enhancing the quality of the lives of our Marines and sailors by constructing new barracks and facilities, while at the same time implementing initiatives that lessen the impact on the environment. The base is currently using several methods to meet the Secretary of the Navy’s Energy conservation goals, one of which is to have 50% of our energy come from a renewable source by 2020. There are four pools aboard the base that use solar energy for heating. There are currently 18 systems totaling 698 kilowatts. There are currently 55 buildings being constructed that will be certified LEED Silver by the US Green Building Council. Also, a contract has been awarded for the installation of a 1.48 Mega Watt Solar Photovoltaic farm aboard Camp Pendleton, which is expected to be completed sometime in early 2011. The base is currently exploring applications of wind and waste energy that will assist us in meeting the Secretary of the Navy’s goals. Camp Pendleton currently has an enormous amount of construction aboard the base, to include utility upgrades and maintenance facilities, headquarters buildings, and family housing units aboard the base. Camp Pendleton currently has approximately one-third of the family housing units in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton. That represents about 7,375 housing units. That number is scheduled to increase to just over 7,547 units within the next two and a half years. Since WWII, Camp Pendleton has provided the integral training and support necessary to sustain America’s 911 force. With the Global War on Terror comes a heightened responsibility to maintain that professionalism, dedication, and operational excellence in all facets of our mission. Camp Pendleton takes pride in serving Marines, sailors and their families.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR Originally established as an Army camp in 1917, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar has been the home of Marine Corps and Navy aviation units since 1940’s. The latest change occurred on October 1, 1997, when NAS Miramar became MCAS Miramar following the closure of MCAS El Toro and MCAS Tustin. Located in “America’s Finest City”, MCAS Miramar’s 23,000 acres of land supports the Marine Corps’ training and war fighting missions. Home to more than 10,000 Marines, Sailors and Civilian Marines of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and Air Station units, MCAS Miramar’s work force supports various aircraft operations occurring on the facility in addition to carrying out the Marine Corps’ mission to train, equip and deploy forces to respond to a variety of crises around the world. From Afghanistan to Iraq, 50

along with continuing Pacific deployments, MCAS Miramar Marines and Sailors have answered the nation’s call. This success is made possible in part because of MCAS Miramar’s proximity with ground and logistical forces from Camp Pendleton, the Navy ships upon which the Marine Corps deploys, and the vast training ranges in the Southwest United States and off the coast of California. MCAS Miramar is centrally located near more than 10 West Coast Navy and Marine Corps installations including Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, the nation’s largest amphibious assault training area, and adjacent to 67 percent of the Continental United States’ Department of Defense training ranges. This ideal position maximizes training dollars and prepares Marines for operational commitments throughout the world.

U.S. COAST GUARD SECTOR, SAN DIEGO Among the 1,100 San Diego-based Coast Guardsmen, virtually all are extremely grateful for the ongoing, outstanding support of those who are fortunate enough to call ‘America’s Finest City’ their home. It is a very safe assumption that there is nowhere in the world with this unique combination of an ideal climate, a clean, safe and activity packed community, and the most military friendly local population. Whether active duty, reserve, civilian, or auxiliary volunteers, each and every member of Team Coast Guard strive to uphold our core values of ‘Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty’ as we go about the business of maritime safety, security, and stewardship. We are honored to be considered San Diegans, even if for a short time, and to have the privilege of working amidst such a vast concentration of superb Sailors and Marines in service to our country. The U.S. Coast Guard, through the Revenue Cutter Service, remains the oldest continuous federal sea-going force in the United States. In 1790, at the request of the first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, the Revenue Cutter Service was formed to stem the loss of badly needed revenue by seagoing smugglers. In 1848, the federal government added to the Revenue Cutter Service’s missions when it established a life-saving system. The primary 54

mission was shore-based rescue of crew members off shipwrecked vessels. This system of life-saving stations was formally organized as the U.S. Lifesaving Service in 1878. To streamline and improve government operations, the U.S. Lifesaving Service and the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service combined on Jan 20, 1915, to form the U.S. Coast Guard. The federal government expanded the U.S. Coast Guard’s missions when two more government agencies merged into the service: the Lighthouse Service in 1939 and the Bureau of Navigation and Steamship Inspection Service in 1942. Coast Guard Sector San Diego’s many current missions reflect its rich history: maritime defense, law enforcement, search and rescue, aids to navigation, vessel inspections, and maritime safety. The Coast Guard presence in San Diego began as a Coast Guard Air Patrol Detachment on May 4, 1934 for the purpose of preventing smuggling across the Mexican border. Over time, the mission expanded to include the saving of life and property, as more and more patrolling aircraft were diverted for search and rescue missions offshore. On May 21, 1935, Commander Elmer F. Stone, one of the Coast Guard’s most renowned aviators, assumed command of the detachment. He is best known for his actions as copilot of NC-4, the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean in May and June of 1919. Under his

FLEET WEEK SAN DIEGO 2010

FLEET WEEK

command, the detachment began to grow into an air station. On April 1, 1937, the service formally commissioned Coast Guard Air Station San Diego at its present location on Harbor Drive. In the tradition of the Life Saving Service, Sector San Diego maintains a 24-hour ready response to any distress call or law enforcement situation. Sector’s response resources include three MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters, two 41foot utility boats, three 33-foot response boats, the 110-foot Coast Guard cutter EDISTO, and three 87-foot cutters, the PETREL, SEA OTTER and HADDOCK. These assets maintain a constant coastal presence, patrolling for drug, migrant and fisheries law enforcement purposes, and to aid mariners in distress. The Sector’s Prevention Department provides the services initiated by the Bureau of Navigation and Steamship Inspection Service, in addition to providing commercial vessel inspections and 24-hour ready response to oil spills. Their Foreign Vessels Branch plays a significant role in ensuring that people aboard cargo and passenger vessels do not threaten our homeland. They maintain a watchful eye for suspicious behavior while boarding vessels and during ship movements in and out of our harbors. The San Diego Aids to

U.S. COAST GUARD

Navigation Team and the New Point Loma Lighthouse facility sustain missions originally conducted by the Lighthouse Service. There are four other Coast Guard commands in San Diego that are not a part of the Sector, but instead work directly for the Commander of the Coast Guard Pacific Area. They include the Pacific Area Tactical Law Enforcement Team and the Marine Safety and Security Team, each based at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, and two 378 foot cutters CHASE and HAMILTON, home ported at Naval Station San Diego. The four units are often deployed around the world to prosecute counter narcotics and national security missions and for contingency response as needed. Anchored in our rich tradition as a maritime, military, multi-mission agency, the Coast Guard is in the midst of a rapid transformation and modernization effort to ensure we remain well-positioned, and ‘Semper Paratus,’ always ready to execute our missions effectively in what is sure to be a challenging and dynamic future. Together, your San Diego based Coast Guardsmen are always prepared to tackle the challenges of a changing world across the full spectrum of the maritime environment.

These elite, precision flying teams will be taking to the skies over San Diego with other military and civilian aircraft, including the AV-8B Harrier, the F/A-18 Hornet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the Marine Corps Air and Ground Task Force demonstration.

FLEET WEEK SAN DIEGO

CORONADO SPEED FESTIVAL “America’s Race at the Base”

The Coronado Speed Festival is Fleet Week San Diego’s marquee event. The event features fast-paced, thrilling auto racing and exhibitions for car enthusiasts of all ages at one of the most distinctive race track locations — Naval Air Station North Island, the birthplace of Naval Aviation. Nowhere else can you see a variety of cars racing on a live runway used by the U.S. Navy. This is the only Navy Open House on the West Coast. Naval Base Coronado is home to over 20, 000 active duty military and over 4,000 civilian employees. The general public only gets a glimpse of the daily activities happening at the base. The Coronado Speed Festival is produced by San Diego Fleet Week Foundation and hosted by the Naval Base Coronado and the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Program (MWR) which benefits military personnel and their families. 60

In 1997, an innovative idea was formed – the idea to combine a racing event with an event to pay tribute to the nation’s military, and additionally get more exposure for the Navy within the community of San Diego. The event would be called the Coronado Speed Festival, and vintage cars from around the country would race at Naval Air Station North Island, on a track that was created in days – a spectator-friendly 1.7 mile course, constructed on the runways and taxiways of the military base. Over the course of two days, race fans, San Diegans and other interested parties would watch different race groups zoom around the track, all while stepping back in time to enjoy auto racing’s rich history, with tours of the racecar pits and the ability to speak with the drivers of these unique machines. Car Enthusiasts can visit the Car Club Corral, to view a variety of automobiles that range in age, make and model.
