Nouasseur Air Base, Military air base in Casablanca, Morocco

The base stretches across an area 30 kilometers from Casablanca, featuring runways designed for heavy military aircraft and support facilities for operations.

The United States Air Force established Nouasseur Air Base in 1951 as a strategic installation during the Cold War period for B-36 and B-47 bombers.

The installation maintained connections with local Moroccan communities while serving as a point of interaction between American military personnel and regional inhabitants.

Multiple military units operated at the base, including the 80th Air Depot Wing and the 118th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron for radar operations.

The facility transformed from a military installation into Mohammed V International Airport after the United States forces departed in 1963.
