Concept Development Report

of increased traffic at the state's seaports. Currently, the majority of air- truck transfers occur at the six
major airports in the state. In the future however, the potential exists for this type of transfer to occur ad-ditionally
at the Global TransPark in Kinston.

Major Military Installations
There are seven major military installations in the state, which house various units of the United States
Military. The seven major bases are:
Fort Bragg Army Base ( Cumberland and Hoke Counties)
Pope Air Force Base ( Cumberland County)
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base ( Wayne County)
Sunny Point Army Military Ocean Terminal ( Brunswick County)
New River Marine Corps Air Station ( Onslow County)
Camp Lejeune Marine Base ( Onslow County)
Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station ( Craven County)
In times of war, military installations need to mobilize equipment and personnel quickly and efficiently.
Public seaports and airports serve to facilitate this logistical supply chain. Infrastructure improvements to
seaports in particular are critical since these facilities are used as embarkation points.
Coast Guard stations also play an important role in protecting North Carolina. While moving equipment
via highways is not as vital to these stations, they are increasingly important for the purposes of homeland
security. Stations located in North Carolina are part of the 5th Coast Guard District, which includes an air
station in Elizabeth City. Smaller boating units are located at Elizabeth City, Emerald Isle, Fort Macon,
Hatteras Inlet, Hobucken, Oak Island, Ocracoke, Oregon Inlet, and Wrightsville Beach. Exhibit 15 illus-trates
the location of both the major military installations and the Coast Guard stations.
