Beckley Put Forward as National Guard Training Center
Adjutant General Charles R. Fox says Beckley is one of three sites under study by the National Guard Bureau for a new training center for heavy armored units. Beckley would use about 600 acres at Memorial Airport, with Federal funding sought to lease rather than buy the land and retire the property from productivity. Other sites include Bluefield, Camp Dawson area, with mentions of Charles Town Huntington and Parkersburg regions and a possible Clarksburg Morgantown option. Residents would not be displaced and no artillery would be used.
