Naval Air Facility Atsugi Fire & Emergency Services

== Area Served ==
Naval Air Facility Atsugi or Atsugi Kaigun-hikōjō in Japanese, formerly Naval Air Station Atsugi, is a joint Japanese-US naval air station located 4 nautical miles east northeast from the city of Atsugi, in Kanagawa Prefecture, on Honshu Island, the largest and most populous main island of Japan. It is the largest United States Navy air facility in the Pacific Ocean region with approximately 6,000 people living or working at the base. NAF Atsugi used to house all the squadrons of Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5), which deploys with the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), home-ported at Yokosuka, Japan, as part of the United States Seventh Fleet. The wing includes about 70 aircraft and 2,000 military personnel who were home based at Atsugi when the carrier was in port. From August 2017 through March 2018, the fixed-wing aircraft of Carrier Air Wing Five relocated from NAF Atsugi to Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni in Yamaguchi prefecture, also on Honshu Island. The wing's approximately 20 helicopters and crews remained at NAF Atsugi for the time being. Also stationed at NAF Atsugi are the Headquarters Fleet Air Force and Fleet Air Wing 4 of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).

== History ==
The Imperial Japanese Navy constructed the base in 1938 to house the 302nd Kokutai, one of the Navy's most formidable fighter squadrons during World War II. Aircraft based at Atsugi shot down more than 300 American bombers during the fire bombings of 1945. General Douglas MacArthur arrived at Atsugi on August 30, 1945 to accept Japan's surrender. The airfield was not refurbished to handle military air traffic until the Korean War. The Seabees (Navy construction battalions) came to the base in 1950 and prepared it for re-opening that December as Naval Air Station Atsugi. NAS Atsugi was a major naval air base during both the Korean War and Vietnam War, serving fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft. In 1972, the US and Japanese governments agreed to share ownership of the base, after which the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force began operating from Atsugi. In 2015, the Negishi Housing Complex was closed and the lands returned to the landowners it had been leased from.
