This undated brochure from Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base describes the military airspace its tenant units use for training. It explains Special Use Airspace, Military Operating Areas and Military Training Routes. It then details the Navy-owned Brownwood MOA and the Air Force-owned Brady MOA, which lie about 70 nautical miles southwest of the base and are scheduled by the 301st Fighter Wing. The brochure also profiles the F-16C, FA-18 and C-130 aircraft stationed there. It contains no UFO material.

Control of airspace over Naval Air Station (NAS) Fort Worth Joint
Reserve Base (JRB) is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), which manages the National Airspace System. The National
Airspace System seeks to ensure the safe, orderly, and efficient flow of
commercial, private, and military air traffic. NAS Fort Worth JRB Air
Traffic Control provides traffic control services to all aircra operating
in the airspace surrounding the airfield.
Due to mission requirements, military flight activities oen need to be
separated from other aircra operations. Special Use Airspace (SUA) is the designation of airspace in
which certain activities must be confined or where limitations may be imposed on aircra operations
that are not part of those activities. The SUA dimensions are defined so that military activities can
operate within boundaries that limit access by non-participating aircra. The restrictedness of SUA
ranges from areas where flight is always prohibited except by authorized aircra to areas that are used
by the military for potentially hazardous operations.
This brochure provides an overview of Military Operating Areas (MOAs) and Military Training Routes
(MTRs) and highlights the primary areas in which tenants from NAS Fort Worth JRB conduct
training activities.
NAS Fort Worth JRB comprises approximately
40 separate commands, including 10,500 active-duty
military, guardsmen, reservists, and civilians employed
by Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Texas Air
National Guard units.
As the first Joint Reserve Base in the country, the mission
of NAS Fort Worth JRB is to provide “unsurpassed support
and quality training for our Reserve and Guard war fighters
in all branches of the Armed Services.” NAS Fort Worth JRB
ensures that Reservists receive quality training in
preparation for mobilization readiness, while reducing
redundancy and overhead by developing joint doctrine
and operating procedures amongst host and tenant units.
Specifically, the Installation’s primary responsibility is to
train and equip air crews and aviation ground-support
personnel in preparation for deployment.
