	McChord AFB
		Colonel McChord was born 29 December 1881, in Lebanon, Kentucky.
		McChord was thereafter the primary Northwest aerial gateway to Alaska and the Orient.
		Many important missions were flown from the base, including the deployment of fighters to Korea during the Pueblo incident, Presidential support flights into China and Russia, the return of United States prisoners of war from North Vietnam, and the positioning of United Nations peacekeeping forces in Egypt.

	ATSDR - PHA - MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE (WASH RACK/TREATMENT) AND AMERICAN LAKE GARDENS/MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE, TACOMA, ...
		McChord Air Force Base (McCAFB), an active aircraft station covering 4,616 acres, is approximately 7 miles south of Tacoma, in Pierce County, Washington.
		Based on the available information, ATSDR has concluded that the 65 sites at McCAFB are no apparent public health hazard; however, if in the future contaminants from the soil and groundwater migrate off-site or towards the base supply wells via the groundwater, then a public health hazard could exist.
		The base is bounded on the north by Tacoma; on the east and west by residential communities; on the southwest by a residential area (the American Lake Garden Tract); and on the southeast by the Fort Lewis, a site of industrial operations and military training since 1917.

	USGS - McChord Air Force Base - Project Summaries
		Five additional monitoring wells were installed along the western boundary of the base in November 1999, and TCE was detected in all wells, including one that was expected to represent background conditions.
		McChord Air Force Base is starting a remedial investigation at site SS-34N to determine the extent of TCE contamination in ground water.
		Because the soil gas survey was not successful, the Air Force is faced with the expense of installing and sampling monitoring wells unless another method can be used to determine the extent of contamination.

	USGS - McChord Air Force Base
		During the investigation of a jet fuel bulk storage area, trichloroethene (TCE) was detected in ground water beneath McChord Air Force Base, near Tacoma, Washington.
		In March 2000, after six monitoring wells were installed in the residential area to the west of the base, TCE was detected at concentrations above the cleanup level in samples from three of the wells.
		To help McChord Air Force Base in its remedial investigation to determine the full extent of the TCE in ground water, the USGS is studying the use of tree cores to define the extent of contamination.

		In an uncertain world, the thoughts of children, mothers and fathers were on serious matters at McChord, home of the storied 62nd Air Wing, as the base begins its largest overseas deployment in the war on terrorism since 9/11.

		Under the expeditionary construct, various air bases every 15 months take turns sending their troops for 90-day deployments, although they are sometimes longer.
