Fort Dix is part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which is the only tri-service base in the United States, combining the Army, Air Force, and Navy facilities.
Established in 1917, Fort Dix has been a key training ground for soldiers during both World Wars and continues to serve as a training and mobilization center today.
The base is named in honor of Major General John Adams Dix, a Union general during the American Civil War.
Fort Dix serves as a major hub for the deployment and logistical support of military operations, playing a crucial role in national defense.
The base is home to the Pine Barrens, a unique ecosystem that supports a variety of wildlife and plant species, some of which are rare or endangered.
