  Historic California Posts: Marine Corps Air Station, Miramar
The BRAC decision consequently affected the operations of NAS Miramar, as the realignment requires the relocation of personnel, aircraft, and equipment at MCAS Tustin and MCAS El Toro in Orange County, California to NAS Miramar.
Miramar is clearly a target for some of these local activists, who have predicted that the base will be closed under a future BRAC round, and turned over to the city for use as its civil airport.
NAS Lemoore, with its dual offset runways, separate administrative and operations areas, and access to West Coast training ranges, is virtually free from encroachment.

VF-101 Grim Reapers were commissioned at NAS Cecil Field on May 1, 1952, the lineage of the present squadron goes back to 1952, and the two squadrons only share the name Grim Reapers.
On May 1, 1966 a new detachment was formed at NAS Oceana which took over the training of replacement pilots and RIO’s in the areas of aerial refuelling, carrier qualification and conventional weapons.
When NAS Miramar became MCAS Miramar in 1996, all F-14 squadrons were moved to NAS Oceana, as well as the VF-101 detachment, although VF-101 maintained its NAS Key West detachment until VF-101 was disestablished.

 Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore
NAS Lemoore was built “from the ground up” as a Master Jet Base, and has several operational advantages, and relatively few constraints, as a result.
NAS Lemoore is located in California's San Joaquin Valley, primarily in Kings County, 40 miles south of Fresno, 14 miles west of Hanford, and 7 miles west of Lemoore on State Highway 198.
Sites considered at NAS Lemoore for the new facilities/renovations avoided environmentally sensitive areas, and were selected based on the following functional considerations: adequacy of existing structures for the proposed uses, availability of utilities, and proximity of the structure/site to existing and related facilities, such as hangars, warehouses, classrooms, administrative offices, housing and recreational facilities.

 Dispersing MCAS Miramar
While Miramar is a beautiful base, it is surrounded by a booming urban area whose vocal residents complain about noise, which is why the Navy happily left in 1997.
Another option is to move an active duty HMH up to NAS Willow Grove where a reserve HMH squadron already operates, or move an active HMM to NAS Norfolk where a reserve HMM operates, or any squadron to MCAF Quantico.
However, NAS El Centro is little used, ideally located, and has plenty of space to expand to serve as a major fixed-wing base.
