Andrews Air Force Base in History & Today -

The history of United States Air Force's Andrews Air Force Base dates to World War II. First opened in 1943, the base was later named in honor of Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews, Commanding General of United States Forces in the European Theater of Operations, who was killed in a B-24 plane crash the same year in Iceland. The name Andrews Air Force Base or Andrews AFB actually replaced the base's first name, which was Camp Springs Army Air Base, in 1945.
Today, the Maryland base is officially known as Joint Base Andrews and is home to the 11th Wing (11 WG) (AFDW), the 89th Airlift Wing Air Mobility Command (Presidential Airlift Group), the Air Force District of Washington, and the 79th Medical Wing.
