Originally designated as a US Air Force Base, Ladd Field began life as a small six square mile base; a strategic staging point for ferrying Allied aircraft to Russia. In 1961 Ladd Air Force Base was transferred to the US Army, thus beginning its life as Fort Wainwright. Wainwright was named in honor of General Jonathan Wainwright; a West Point graduate and decorated officer who served as the Senior Field Commander of US and Philipino forces under General MacArthur during World War II.

Located just east of the City of Fairbanks and west of North Pole, Fort Wainwright is an integral part of our community. We take great pride in welcoming the men and women who serve at Fort Wainwright into the Fairbanks community. We're proud of your service and honored to have you call Fairbanks home.
