Utah. Many missions. One place to call home.
Utah Military Communities
From the Wasatch Front to the West Desert, Utah is home to active-duty, National Guard, and Reserve communities. Get oriented to the people, missions, and duty locations behind your next move.

Official Nephi opening report →300th Military Intelligence Brigade
The brigade provides linguist and intelligence capabilities. Its Utah units form part of a wider organization; check current unit instructions for your assigned location.
65th Field Artillery Brigade
Headquarters at Camp Williams. The directory includes the 1-145th and 2-222nd Field Artillery, with batteries and support units spread across Utah.
97th Aviation Troop Command
Based in West Jordan, with the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 211th Aviation Regiment among its listed formations.
Logistics, medical & support
The 97th Troop Command includes maintenance, transportation, and medical organizations. The directory lists the 144th Medical Company (Area Support) at Camp Williams and forward support companies supporting artillery and engineers.
Reserve readiness
U.S. Army Reserve at Camp Williams
The new 96th Infantry Division “Deadeye” Memorial Army Reserve Center opened at Camp Williams in 2026. The Army Reserve’s move from Fort Douglas brings a new center of activity to Camp Williams. The 807th Theater Medical Command lists its headquarters contact address at the Camp Williams Army Reserve Center.
This changes the geography for many Utah Army Reserve households. Verify your unit’s transition and reporting instructions before using an older Fort Douglas address to plan housing.
Airpower along the Wasatch Front
Hill AFB & Utah Air National Guard
Hill Air Force Base
Hill supports the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, the 75th Air Base Wing, the active-duty 388th Fighter Wing, and the Air Force Reserve’s 419th Fighter Wing. Its military and civilian missions make northern Utah an important relocation destination.
Official installation overview →151st Wing, Utah Air National Guard
The 151st Wing is in Salt Lake City at Roland R. Wright Air National Guard Base. Its missions include KC-135 aerial refueling, intelligence, and support. This is a different duty location from Hill AFB.
Official Utah Air Force resource directory →Navy in Utah
Navy Reserve Center Salt Lake City
The name remains Salt Lake City, but the Navy’s relocation notice places the center at Hill Air Force Base, effective February 28, 2025. The published address is 5881 F Avenue, Building 802, Hill AFB.
Use current command instructions rather than an older Fort Douglas listing. Utah Navy households may be balancing Reserve duty with civilian employment and other travel needs.
Marine Corps Reserve
Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines
Marine Forces Reserve’s current unit page lists Fox Company at Building 2620, 17800 South Camp Williams Road, Riverton, Utah. The page also documents its Marines preparing at Camp Williams in 2024.
This verified unit provides a concrete starting point for Utah Marine families. For any other Marine assignment, confirm its current location with the command rather than relying on a historical directory.
