Occupying the site of the former Orlando Air Force Base, the Navy's third training center is rapidly becoming a show place among training commands in the armed forces. The Commander, Naval Training Center, is tasked with providing basic indoctrination for enlisted personnel, and primary, advanced, and specialized training for officer and enlisted personnel of the Regular Navy and the Navy Reserve. A decision was made in the nation's capital to develop a third Naval Training Center, and on December 6, 1966, the Honorable Robert H. B. Baldwin, then Under Secretary of the Navy, announced that the city of Orlando had been chosen as the site of the Navy's newest and most modern training facility. Orlando was selected because of its year-round climate, availability of transportation, sufficient family housing, and availability of the Orlando Air Force Base under the Department of Defense Base Closure Program. The newly constructed Recruit Training Command fea- tures modern and functional buildings and presents a campus-like atmosphere. Commissioned with the Naval Training Center, the Recruit Training Command provides a smooth transition from civilian life for enlistees into the naval service. Additionally, the Naval Training Center is host com- mand for the Naval Training Device Center, which is responsible for the research, development, production, maintenance, and modification of air, sea, subsurface, land, and space trainers applicable to all types of mili- tary situations. Another tenant command of the Naval Training Center is the Naval Hospital, Orlando, currently a 200-bed facility. The Hospital's combined medical and dental staff of 400 supports the Naval Training Center and other military installations in the Central Florida region, in- cluding dependents and retirees. A modern high rise replacement hospital is planned for the future, and this facility will provide the most mod- ern and complete medical care to the ever-increasing active duty and retired military population of the Central Florida area. The Advanced Undersea Weapons School has also taken up residence, in part, at the Naval Training Center. AUWS is currently a detachment of the school at the Naval Base, Key West, Florida. The Orlando detachment is housed in a new brick structure, located on 6,100 square feet of real estate at this training complex. When construction is com- pleted, the school will encompass 109,000 square feet of classrooms, laboratories, and an auditorium to be utilized for indoctrination and classroom lectures. The Orlando detachment is scheduled to become the main school in early 1970 when the facility at Key West closes its doors. Another tenant unit is the Navy Finance Office, Or- lando, which, prior to the July 1 commissioning date, was a branch of the main office at Jacksonville, Florida. The Orlando Finance Office is responsible for disbursing sup- port to 12 military activities in the Central Florida region, and renders civilian disbursing services to six organizations. Additionally, the Center hosts the Navy Printing and Publications Service Branch Office, the Defense Contract Administration Services District, and the Resident Officer- in-Charge of Construction. Presently, the Recruit Training Command has 3,250 men undergoing training. This figure will remain constant until the fifth Recruit Barracks is completed in October 1969. The recruit population will then increase to approxi- mately 4,250. These five barracks, plus a 4,600-man mess hall, a class- room building, and other training facilities comprise the first camp of the Recruit Training Command. Each bar- racks is designed to house 12 recruit companies. The second recruit camp will be identical to the first, with five barracks and additional support buildings used for training purposes. Construction on the second camp is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 1969, with targeted completion date in mid-1972. The recruit population will then exceed 8,000. The two camps will be interconnected by a central core , consisting of two 26-classroom training buildings connected by the Television Building, which houses the closed-circuit television system. Television provides a basic supplement to the academic instruction in recruit training. - --'.,.- 55.-.
