NAVCOMMSTA-PWC Diego Garcia

NAVCOMMSTA-PWC Diego Garcia was a key United States Navy communications station and Public Works Center located on the island of Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory. Established in the early 1970s, it played a vital role in supporting U.S. and allied military operations throughout the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf regions, particularly during the Cold War and subsequent conflicts. The station provided essential communications, logistics, and engineering support, enabling sustained naval and air operations from this strategic outpost. Over time, its capabilities contributed to the effectiveness of regional power projection and rapid military response in critical situations.
