Fort Hunter Liggett, established in 1940, is a United States Army installation located in Monterey County, California. Originally part of the Hearst Ranch, the land was acquired by the Army to serve as a training and maneuver area during World War II. Over the decades, Fort Hunter Liggett has been utilized for large-scale field exercises, weapons testing, and as a key training site for Army Reserve and National Guard units. Today, it remains the largest Army Reserve installation in the western United States, supporting a wide range of military training operations and joint exercises.

TUSLOG Detachment 4 (TUSLOG Det 4) was a United States Air Force unit stationed at Cigli Air Base near Izmir, Turkey, during the Cold War. Established as part of The United States Logistics Group (TUSLOG), its primary mission was to support NATO operations and provide logistics, communications, and administrative assistance to U.S. forces in the region. The detachment played a crucial role in maintaining U.S.-Turkish cooperation and readiness in response to Soviet threats. TUSLOG Det 4 remained active until the restructuring of American military presence in Turkey in the late 1970s.
