What is a defense community? Communities adjacent to active and closed defense installations are distinct places. America’s defense installations depend on local communities for housing, services and even operational support. This connection and responsibility is what makes these communities unique – it’s what makes them defense communities. Defense communities have active installations – where local governments and states are working to support our military. Defense communities also may have closed or realigned installations – where local governments lead the way in finding new economic uses for former bases.
