FACSFAC, San Diego, Ca.

Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, San Diego (FACSFAC San Diego), was established in 1972 to provide airspace management, control, and surveillance services for military training and operations off the Southern California coast. Originally formed to support the growing need for safe and coordinated use of increasingly congested military and civilian airspace, FACSFAC San Diego became a critical command and control facility for naval and joint exercises, missile tests, and fleet training events. Over the years, the unit has adapted to evolving technologies and operational demands, ensuring seamless coordination between air, surface, and subsurface forces. Today, FACSFAC San Diego continues to play a vital role in maintaining readiness and safety for U.S. and allied forces operating in the Pacific region.
