Joint Base Cape Cod
The Joint Base Cape Cod is a state-designated
United States War Department in 1935.[1] Governor James Curley signed the state bill to allocate and purchase land for a military facility, and establishing a formal commission to manage this new state military property and personnel. After 22,000 acres (8,900 ha; 89 km2; 34 sq mi) of land was secured on Cape Cod, the Massachusetts National Guard began erecting tents and a basic training program in the following year.[1] Formerly the Massachusetts Military Reservation, it was renamed in 2013 to Joint Base Cape Cod by Massachusetts; although having a name similar to many federal military installations, it has no federal recognition.[2][3]
