JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. -- Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst leadership is aware of the Department of Homeland Security’s proposal to utilize a portion of the installation as an incident support base. As this is being led by DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, all operational decisions, timelines, and facility management will fall under their authority.
At this time, no final decisions have been made regarding construction or activation of the proposed ISB. JB MDL is committed to supporting its federal partners in accordance with applicable laws, policies, and mission requirements.
As a military installation, JB MDL’s primary mission remains the support of rapid global mobility operations and increasing the combat readiness and lethality of its servicemembers. Any facility managed by DHS on the installation would operate independently and would not interfere with Department of Defense operations.
For specific details regarding the proposed ISB, we refer all inquiries to ICE Public Affairs at ICEmedia@ice.dhs.gov. For JB MDL related media inquiries, please call (609) 754-2104, or email 87.abw.pa@us.af.mil.
