JADOC Phase Two construction was prioritized as the U.S. Air Force’s top military construction priority for existing missions in 2021. JADOC's command and control centers operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Established following 9/11, JADOC initially operated from multiple temporary locations. With this new facility, JADOC has consolidated functions into a permanent home and operates with state-of-the-art technologies.
JADOC Phase One construction was managed by NAVFAC Washington and completed February 2014 with a final cost of $14 million. The 22,600-square-foot modern facility currently serves as a permanent home for JADOC on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.

1 年Topping out. This milestone is reaching an accomplishment in construction. The beam is typically adorned with a small evergreen tree and an American flag on opposite ends of the beam. The work is accomplished by standing and working together as a Team, Union, Partner, Leaders, or workers. Standing when we fall and reach for others when they stumble or fall. Never considering a fall a failure. When we stand it is a success. When we reach to help the partner, that is integrity and strength. This is the purpose of the Flag. United We Stand! The tree is the symbol that signifies construction has reached the sky without loss of life or injury and this will bring good luck for the future occupants of the building. Whatever the historical beginning we all know it is about the satisfaction taken in getting the hard part done. A great deal of labor may lie ahead but in putting the initial hard part in the “Rear View Mirror” and the finish line in the “Front Windshield” It will always be built! Stand together and watch over each other. T. Valline JIW Local 86, Seattle, WA Congratulations!
