This AFB has the largest desert storage for retired military aircraft in the world.the base is massive but modern. The airplanes on exhibit are easily accessed and fun to explore. You can drive along the base fence line and also see the planes in storage.

Army Intelligence Museum

Reviewed By richardf600 - Louisville, United States

This is a newly opened Museum that is located inside the Fort Library building and to the rear of the right side of the library. There is ample parking in front of the building. It was moved from the previous museum building it shared with the Buffalo Soldier Museum. This amazing Army Intelligence Museum acts as custodian and repository for artifacts significant to the history of intelligence organizations, operations and individuals and provides military history education. The museum highlights the role of Military Intelligence within the U.S. Army from 1775 to the present day and honors the achievements of soldiers acting in intelligence roles. The Museum exhibits include a very rare World War 2 German Enigma cipher machine, an incredible large fragment of the Berlin Wall, a vehicle operated by the US Army Military Liaison Mission during the Cold War and early examples of unmanned aircraft developed at Fort Huachuca during the 1950's and 60's. The museum also displays manned and unmanned intelligence aircraft at the outdoor Air Park on Hatfield Street. As you walk in you will be guided through all the various wars we have been in and you will see surveillance and espionage tools from the Civil War, the notorious Enigma Machine coding device used by the Germans during WW II, one of our Cold War espionage jeeps, a surveillance drone and, the real thing, a 12' x 10' section of a 10' section of the Berlin Wall, replete with graffitied political statements. Each War section has a self start video as well as additional information you can bring up on your smartphone. You should allow a minimum of 1 hour. Admission is free and donations are accepted. Open weekdays 9am to 4pm. Closed on Monday and Sunday. There is also a small Coffee and Snack bar located just inside the library.
