==History==
Fort Lewis began as Camp Lewis in 1917 when the citizens of Pierce County voted by an eight to one margin to bond themselves for $2 million to buy 68,721 acres of land. which they donated to the federal government for military use. The project of constructing an army airfield, which later became McChord Air Force Base, directly north of the Fort Lewis installation, received approval as a WPA project in January 1938. The two facilities were merged on February 1, 2010, as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations of 2005. This merger also resulted in the merger of Fort Lewis Fire Department and McChord Fire Department.
