Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center
Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center is a Michigan Air National Guard training facility. It is located 7.1 miles (11.4 km) west-northwest of Alpena, Michigan.
The Alpena CRTC is a year-round training facility. It provides premier support, facilities, instruction and airspace to Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Coalition and emergency responders to meet the mission requirements of combatant commanders and civil authorities.
It is one of four Combat Readiness Training Centers in the United States. (The others are at Volk Field in Wisconsin; Gulfport, Mississippi; and Savannah, Georgia.) The Alpena CRTC boasts the largest airspace east of the Mississippi River, has 147,000 acres available for ground maneuver units, and trains over 20,000 joint and coalition personnel annually.
The Alpena CRTC is the second organization in the Air National Guard to be certified as a Joint National Training Center. The base has three JTE's, offers JTAC Training, and operates a JTAC 4m dome simulator.
The Alpena County Regional Airport is a shared use airport between the Alpena CRTC and the Alpena County, allowing for both civilian aircraft operations and military aircraft operations.
"Our mission at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) is to provide premiere support, facilities, instruction, and airspace to the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Coalition Forces, and Emergency Responders in order to meet the mission requirements of Combatant Commanders and Civil Authorities."
Around 1930, a area of 80 acres was donated by Harry Fletcher and Phillip Fletcher. Several other 40 acres plots donated by Alpena Power Company. Soon after, Works Progress Administration (WPA) crews flattened and cleared what would become its first runway.
On the 31st of August, 1931, the airport was formally dedicated as Captain Phelps Collins Field in honor of Captain Phelps Collins, the first member of the US Air Service to die on a combat mission in World War I. Governor Wilber M. Brucker flew in to formally accept the Airport and it became Michigan's first State owned airport.
