Procurement Description:

Objective: To design, fabricate, and install a visually compelling, historically accurate, and durable timeline exhibit in Bldg 3011 (JB MDL headquarters) that documents the evolution of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst from its creation in 1917 to present day highlighting the 100-plus years of JB MDL history. The timeline will serve educational, commemorative, and public engagement purposes.

Scope or Mission: To install a timeline of JB MDL history on a wall of the JB MDL headquarters that is approximately 18-feet in length. This history timeline will include photos and interpretations describing those photos for personnel to learn and appreciate the rich military heritage that exists at JB MDL.

Background: In 2009, the three collocated military installations of McGuire Air Force Base, Fort Dix, and Naval Air Station Lakehurst became one installation – Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Each installation has its own heritage, which is now collectively shared by the 87th Air Base Wing Historian, who serves as the Joint Base Historian. To continue the efforts of making the Joint Base truly “joint” and not “joined”, the Joint Base Heritage Program requires an area that will highlight the heritage of the Joint Base in one place to enhance the education, appreciation, and Esprit d ’Corps for those personnel who work in or visit the Joint Base headquarters.
