Ceremony Will Mark Pax River’s 75th Anniversary

This year marks the 75th year of Naval Air Station Patuxent River, a tribute to 75 years of community partnership with our Southern Maryland neighbors. In honor of this momentous occasion, NAS Patuxent River will host a 75th Anniversary Ceremony Friday, April 6, 2018, at 10 am on NAS Patuxent River’s Parade Field across from the Administration Building (Bldg. 409).

This is a free event, open to those with base access.

Since its dedication in 1943 during World War II through today, the naval air station has grown to become a Center of Excellence for naval aviation and in research, development, test, and
evaluation (RDT&E). The success of the naval air station is fostered by the support of its surrounding communities.

This event will highlight the partnership Pax River has with its neighbors and the people who have made the NAS Patuxent River what it is today. Their support of the men and women serving the nation, who are stationed aboard the NAS Pax River, and who live in the tri-county area is what makes NAS Patuxent River’s success possible.
