Download or read book The Military in San Diego written by Scott McGaugh and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No city is as proud of its military heritage as San Diego, known as "Navy Town, USA." Congress also has designated San Diego as "the Birthplace of Naval Aviation." However, its community fabric reflects a more diverse and tightly woven relationship with our nation's defense. Over the past century, the city has invented and then reinvented itself in response to shifting world affairs and national priorities. It began with a successful campaign to become a West Coast Navy base in the early 1900s. By the 1930s, military aircraft manufacturing drove economic development. After explosive growth in World War II, San Diego emerged as an established military metropolis. At the dawn of the Cold War, San Diego recast itself as a home for Cold War research and development and defense contractors. Today, San Diego is an internationally renowned defense science and technology development center, a city in which one in four jobs and fully 50 percent of regional domestic product are defense related. Like no other city in America, San Diego has grown from a remote military presidio outpost to become a preeminent Pacific powerhouse.

The headquarters or garrisons were located at San Diego, Santa Barbara, Monterey, and San Francisco, respectively. These military posts provided the guards for the Missions situated within the limits of their jurisdiction. The military district of San Diego embraced the Missions of San Diego, San Luis Rey, San Juan Capistrano, and San Gabriel, of which the City of Los Angeles in spiritual mat ters was a dependency. Although independent of one an other, a sort of union or connection existed among the Missions of the district. This suggested the geographical rather than the chronological order in relating the local his tory of the twenty-one Missions.

Download or read book WWII Harbor Defenses of San Diego written by H. R. (Bart) Everett and published by . This book was released on 2024-08 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed history of the harbor defenses of San Diego on the West Coast of United States. The heavily illustrated work tells the story of these extensive fortifications for this important naval harbor which reached their apex during World War II. Drawing on years of in-person research while assigned to these former defenses and many primary sources, this book describes the various fortifications built by the US Army between 1896 and 1945. It also chronicles the use of these former defenses during the post-war period, Cold War, and continuing to today's use. This book gives the reader an unparalleled view to the current state of the San Diego's former harbor defenses. As nearly all these military reservations are still in use by the US Navy, access to many of the former fortifications are restricted. The author's access to these structures gives the reader an unparalleled view of their current use by the US Navy and the US National Park Service. This book is as close as the general public will get to visiting these structures. This book is simultaneously a technical history (the weapon systems and their supporting infrastructure) and a guide book (where the former defenses are located and their current status/ownership). This 538-page, hardcover book is thoroughly supported with footnotes, a bibliography, three appendixes, and over 950 illustrations (black and white photographs, maps, and plans for many of the structures). The author, Commander (Ret.) H.R. (Bart) Everett, USN, has invested over 30 years of research into the WWII Harbor Defenses of San Diego , making it the primary source on these historical defenses and a must for any serious student of these fortifications and the fascinating military history of San Diego.
