Concord Naval Weapons Station was a military base established in 1942 north of the city of Concord, California at the shore of the Sacramento River where it widens into Suisun Bay. The station functioned as a World War II armament storage depot, supplying ships at Port Chicago. During World War II it also had a Naval Outlying Field at the southern edge of the base. It ceased being an operating airfield after World War II. During the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, Concord NWS processed and shipped thousands of tons of materiel out across the Pacific Ocean.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Concord Naval Weapons Station war ein 1942 für den Zweiten Weltkrieg aufgebautes, großes Munitionsdepot der US Navy in Concord, Contra Costa County, Kalifornien, in dem Munition für die Pazifikflotte der USA für deren Krieg gegen Japan per Eisenbahn angeliefert, gelagert und im Port Chicago auf Schiffe umgeladen wurde. Die Basis gliedert sich in ein Küstengebiet von 7360 Acres bestehend aus Inseln in und Marschland an der Suisun Bay mit drei großen Piers und ein ca. 2 Meilen südlich davon gelegenes Inlandsgebiet von 5170 Acres mit Lagerhallen und Munitionsbunkern. Das Munitionsdepot wurde von der Navy bis zum Golfkrieg genutzt, während dessen noch tausende Tonnen Munition in den Mittleren Osten verschifft wurden. Anschließend wurde die Station immer weniger genutzt und war seit 1999 nur noch sehr gering bemannt. Die Anlagen des Inlandsgebietes wurden zunehmend stillgelegt. Gemäß dem Programm (Programm zur Neuordnung und Schließung von Militärbasen) von 2005 sollte das Küstengebiet von der Navy an die Army übertragen werden und das Inlandsgebiet wurde zur zivilen Nutzung bestimmt. 2008 wurde das Küstengebiet des Stützpunktes der US Army, genauer dem 834th Transportation Battalion des Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) übergeben. Die Basis wurde mit dem benachbarten vereinigt. Das Inlandsgebiet wurde bis zur Schließung 2005 zu einer Außenstelle der . 2.100 Acres des Inlandsgeländes mit einem Straßennetz von 19,6 Meilen von befestigten Straßen wurden auf Initiative der Stadt Concord und Mercedes-Benz als Autotestgebiet GoMentum Station für autonomes und konnektiertes Fahren vorgesehen. Weitere Projekte zur Umnutzung des Geländes werden entwickelt. (de)
  • Concord Naval Weapons Station was a military base established in 1942 north of the city of Concord, California at the shore of the Sacramento River where it widens into Suisun Bay. The station functioned as a World War II armament storage depot, supplying ships at Port Chicago. During World War II it also had a Naval Outlying Field at the southern edge of the base. It ceased being an operating airfield after World War II. During the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, Concord NWS processed and shipped thousands of tons of materiel out across the Pacific Ocean. The station consisted of two areas: the Inland Area (5,028 acres (2,035 ha)), which is within the Concord city limits, and the Tidal Area (7,630 acres (3,088 ha)). Because of changes in military operations, parts of the Inland Area began to be mothballed, and by 1999 the station had only a minimal contingent of military personnel and contained mainly empty ammunition storage bunkers, empty warehouses, and disused support structures. In 2007, the U.S. federal government announced that the Inland Area of the Naval station would be closed. The Tidal area of the base was not scheduled for closure and reorganized as Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO). The 834th Transportation Battalion is the port manager at MOTCO and operates the three piers and an Army-owned rail system that connects with major public railway lines. The 5-member City Council of Concord, sitting as the federally designated Local Reuse Authority, is in the process of formulating a Reuse Plan for the Inland Area that includes residential and commercial development while reserving approximately two-thirds for open-space and parks projects. City staff are assigned to manage this effort. The Reuse Plan is subject to approval by the Navy. The East Bay Regional Park District will be receiving 2,540 acres (1028 hectares) of the Inland Area that will be developed for public use as Concord Hills Regional Park. Formal conveyance of the property was expected in early 2016 whereupon the property will be prepared for public access and recreation. Since then 2,216 acres were transferred from Navy property to park. In addition "2,300 acres will be transferred to the city of Concord, whose Concord Community Reuse Project has been overseeing planning for housing, businesses, a college campus and other development.".
