Summary

Description
English: Keflavik, Iceland (Sept. 8, 2006) - Naval Air Station Keflavik conducts a disestablishment ceremony officially ending its 45 years of operations in support of the defense of Iceland. Over one hundred Sailors attended the event, representing a majority of the forces that remain of a population that once exceeded 5,000 military and civilian personnel and family members. The United States has had a military presence in Iceland since 1941, and a formal defense agreement with that nation since 1951. The Navy assumed the responsibility of running the air station from the U.S. Air Force in 1961. The base acted as a platform for several operational capabilities throughout World War II, the Cold War and in the modern arena. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Daniel E.
