	NAVAIDs and Real Property Requirements
		Air Force history programs center on units, not installations; this makes historical information on real property holdings somewhat scarce and inconsistent in its availability and depth of coverage.
		This gives a sample which is not random, but which the writer believes, based on extensive research of the history and design of Air Force installations, to be representative of all Air Force bases.
		As mentioned in the introduction to this section, the middle marker sites, due to their closeness to the main base, occasionally start as off-base sites and are later annexed to the main base by the lease or purchase of additional real estate.
