Construction project announced for Fallbrook Naval Weapons Station

FALLBROOK – A new army reserve center is set to begin construction by the end 2018 at the Fallbrook Naval Weapons Station.

The 31-acre facility will include a training building, maintenance shop, storage building and parking lots for both military and civilian vehicles.

The reserve center will be operated by the U.S. Army Reserve 63rd Readiness Division. It will have a regular staff of 68 and will support up to 800 soldiers, primarily during reserve drill weekends.

The project site will be located in an administrative area, on unused land southwest of the base main gate on Ammunition Road. The site was chosen to minimize environmental impacts while being the most cost effective for construction and maintenance.

The U.S. Army Reserve completed environmental reports in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and National Historic Preservation Act before construction, and no significant environmental impacts were found.

The project is scheduled be completed by the end of 2020.

Naval Weapons Station Fallbrook, also known officially as Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Fallbrook, is an 8,852-acre Navy base bounded to the north, west and south by Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and to the east by the community of Fallbrook. The primary mission of the base is the safe and efficient storage, maintenance and transfer of munitions.
