Naval Support Activity Mid-South (NSAMS) has a long and rich history, one which can be traced to the birth of military aviation itself. It was first commissioned as a Naval Reserve Air Base (NRAB) on September 15, 1942, and was used to train pilots and ground crews for World War I. On January 1, 1943, NRAB was renamed Naval Air Station Memphis. However, in April 1949, the base functions completely changed, and a new Naval Air Station (NAS) was established, assuming logistical support for all the commands except for the Naval Hospital. NAS Memphis continued its support and logistics role for some 50 years. In October 1998, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed the realignment of NAS Memphis and was redesignated as NSAMS to more closely identify the base's mission requirements and to reflect the Navy's approach to regionalization. It is host to many tenant activities, covers 1,600 acres and functions with an allowance of over 6500 enlisted and officer personnel, civilians, and full-time contract personnel.
