Military bases are rarely new, and many of them sit in the same places they have since World War II. Even National Guard armories and training facilities often have buildings that date back to the 1950s during the Cold War. Ancient structures on the East Coast even predate 1900.
Military structures need remediation of asbestos, mold, and other contaminants to comply with federal regulations. But it also helps to maintain a healthy force that can be called to action at a moment’s notice.
