Muñiz Air National Guard Base, Military installation in Carolina, Puerto Rico
The Muñiz Air National Guard Base operates within Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport grounds, serving as headquarters for the 156th Wing operations.
The base relocated all Puerto Rico National Guard activities to its current location in May 1956, establishing a permanent military presence in Carolina.
The base maintains educational initiatives through the STARBASE program, providing local students with hands-on mathematics and science learning experiences.
Military personnel at the base coordinate theater airlift support missions throughout South America, Central America, and the Caribbean regions.
In 1981, the base experienced a terrorist attack resulting in the destruction of multiple aircraft, leading to extensive security enhancements worth 5.5 million dollars.
