Joint Base Charleston C-17 Globemaster III's evacuated to Fort Campbell so they can continue their mission of rapid global mobility during Hurricane Matthew. Due to Hurricane Matthew, a Limited Evacuation Order of South Carolina Hurricane Evacuation Zones has been issued by the Commander, Joint Base Charleston. All Joint Base personnel are expected to evacuate the area and will return once damage has been assessed and it's safe to return. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Corey Hook)

 

On 1 October 2010 the Naval Weapons Station combined with Charleston Air Force Base to become Joint Base Charleston. The transition was seamless with little or no reduction in services. Both locations remain intact.

The charming historic seaport of Charleston, South Carolina has something for everyone and very strong military community support due to the high number of military and retirees. Charleston offers the easy pace of a southern coastal community combined with "Old World" sophistication.
