CFB Griesbach CFB Griesbach ( Griesbach Barracks ) is a former army base in the north end of Edmonton , Alberta , Canada .

Griesbach was also an Edmonton alderman and mayor , and served as a Member of Parliament and a Senator . Griesbach Barracks is home to Canada ' s Land Force Western Area Headquarters . The site , however is no longer administered by the Department of National Defence , but was transferred to the Canada Lands Company in a $ 17 . 5 million 2001 deal , considered fair market value at the time . Former lodger units located here included the Canadian Airborne Centre and the Canadian Forces Parachute Maintenance Depot , both of which were moved to CFB Trenton in the mid 1990s , as plans to close the runway at Namao accelerated . Much of the former Griesbach Barracks site is currently undergoing major redevelopment , with the entire scheduled to be fully re - developed by 2018 .

However , currently it is either a reserve rank , or a rank available to permanent salaried NCOs .
Battle of the Spoiling Dyke The Battle of the Spoiling Dyke ( also known as the Battle of the Spoiled Dyke , Blar Milleadh a ’ Ghàraidh , Millegearaidh ) was a Scottish clan battle that took place in 1578 , fought in the Scottish Highlands , between the MacDonalds of Uist and the Clan MacLeod . The MacDonalds of Uist barred the doors of Trumpan Church , or Kilconan Church as it was once known , east of the shores of Ardmore Bay . They then set fire to the church full of worshipers . No one escaped alive except one girl who , although mortally wounded , managed to give the alarm . On hearing the news , the chief of Clan MacLeod and his men set off for Ardmore bay where a battle ensued . The MacDonalds were killed almost to a man . The corpses of the MacDonalds were dragged and then buried in a turf dyke , and the incident remembered as the " Battle of the Spoiling Dyke " . The atrocity by the MacDonalds was to exact vengeance on the MacLeods for their atrocity of the massacre of MacDonalds in the Cave of Frances on the Isle of Eigg a couple of years earlier . This again was a tit - for - tat revenge between the two feuding clans .
Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant , Calverton Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant , Calverton ( NWIRP ) was a government - owned , contractor - operated ( GOCO ) facility which had the mission of designing , fabricating , and testing prototype aircraft from 1956 until 1996 , located in Riverhead , New York . History . In 1956 the United States Navy purchased about on the Peconic River by New York Route 25 for the facility . Among the properties purchased was a mansion belonging to the grandson of F . W . Woolworth . The Navy was to build among other things a runway . It is labeled on topographic maps as Grumman Peconic River Airport with an FAA code of CTO . The unit is most associated with test , assembly and retrofitting the A - 6 Intruder , E - 2 Hawkeye , EA - 6B Prowler and F - 14 Tomcat . Older U . S . Navy and U . S . Marine Corps aircraft such as the F9F Panther , F - 9 Cougar , and F - 11 Tiger were also tested at the facility . The Grumman site consisted of " Plant Six , " where final assembly of F - 14s , A - 6s , EA - 6Bs , and E - 2Cs took place , and " Plant Seven , " Flight Test . During the Space Race , Grumman built a mock up of the lunar surface to test its proposed Lunar Roving Vehicle . Many of the lunar astronauts were said to have visited the plant then . In 1965 , New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller proposed converting the airport into the fourth New York City metropolitan airport joining Laguardia Airport , John F . Kennedy Airport and Newark Airport . The proposal was abandoned following opposition from both Grumman and local residents . In 1974 , when the two other National Cemeteries on Long Island ( Cypress Hills National Cemetery and Long Island National Cemetery ) were running out of space , the Navy was approached about donating its undeveloped land north of Route 25 for a cemetery . On December 7 , 1977 , a tract was donated to form Calverton National Cemetery . More land would be donated by the Navy in 2000 bringing the total to making it the largest national cemetery in the United States ( and also the busiest ) . Grumman merged with Northrop Corporation in 1994 , forming Northrop Grumman Corporation and the new firm eliminated almost all operations on Long Island . Grumman vacated the site on February 14 , 1996 . The airport has since been developed into Calverton Executive Airpark .
