Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) is a 905 acres (366 ha) military installation, located in Southeast Washington, D.C.,[1] established on 1 October 2010 in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. [2]
The legislation ordered the consolidation of Naval Support Facility Anacostia (NSF) and Bolling Field (BF), which were adjoining, but separate military installations, into a single Joint Base, one of 12 formed in the country as a result of the law.[2]
Coast Guard Station Washington, D.C., is located on the post, next to the Capitol Cove Marina. The headquarters of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center, is located on the post.
The only aeronautical facility at the base is a 100 by 100 feet (30 by 30 m) helipad (ICAO: KBOF).
