STATEMENT This joint resolution recognizes the 100th anniversary of Fort Dix. Fort Dix has been a significant part of New Jersey history and has played a significant role in the support of this country and its community. Fort Dix was established in 1917 and was named after Major General John Adams Dix, a veteran of the War of 1812 and the Civil War, and a former United States Senator, Secretary of the Treasury and Governor of New York. Fort Dix was initially known as Camp Dix and was used to train and stage soldiers during World War I. A few years before World War II, it was renamed Fort Dix and continued to train and stage soldiers. Fort Dix played a vital role as a training center in several major operations, including Vietnam, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, and also trained Kuwaiti civilians in basic military skills so they could take part in their country’s liberation. In the early 1990’s, it ended its active army training mission due to federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommendations. In the early 2000’s, Fort Dix was consolidated with an adjoining United States Air Force and Navy facility to become part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The joint base was the first of its kind in the United States and is the Department of Defenses’ only tri-service joint base.
