The installation supports over 90,000 service members, dependents, and retirees across multiple sub-installations. In particular, the Air Base, formerly known as Charleston Air Force Base, and the Weapons Station, formerly Charleston Naval Weapons Station. Most standard facilities and services are available on both sub-installations. Once you get checked in, each has its own military housing office, commissary, and base exchange to help you get settled in.
