Fort Richardson, Military installation in Anchorage, United States.
Fort Richardson extends across 84,000 acres of land near downtown Anchorage, featuring military facilities, training grounds, and operational command centers.
The base originated in 1940 as a response to increasing global tensions, later defending Alaska from potential invasion following the Pearl Harbor attack.
Fort Richardson houses the Arctic Oasis Community Center, where military personnel and their families participate in educational programs and social events.
The installation maintains dedicated phone lines and service points for visitor information, identification processing, and family support programs.
The base connects with Eagle River Flats, an ecological zone designated as an active munitions impact area requiring specific access restrictions.
