==History==
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson was created in 2010 when the US Air Force's Elmendorf Air Base and the US Army's Fort Richardson were amalgamated and holds the distinction of being one of 12 Joint Bases that were created in Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005. Construction on Elmendorf Field began on June 8, 1940, as a major and permanent military airfield near Anchorage. On November 12, 1940, the War Department formally designated what had been popularly referred to as Elmendorf Field as Fort Richardson. The air facilities on the post were named Elmendorf Field in honor of Captain Hugh M. Elmendorf (January 3, 1895 - January 13, 1933), who lost his life while flight testing the experimental Consolidated Y1P-25 fighter near Wright Field, Ohio. After World War II, the Army moved its operations to the new Fort Richardson and following the separation from the Army in 1947, the United States Air Force assumed control of the original Fort Richardson and renamed it Elmendorf Air Force Base. United states Army Fort Richardson was named for the military pioneer explorer Brigadier General Wilds P. Richardson (March 20, 1861 – May 20, 1929), who served three tours of duty in the Alaska territory between 1897 and 1917.
