Sandia Base, located southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico was for 25 years (1946-1971) America's principal nuclear weapons base. For many of those years, Sandia Base was home to Headquarters, Field Command, Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA). DASA was the military successor to the Manhattan Project.
In 1971, the Department of Defense (DOD) reorganized and consolidated some of its nuclear functions. DASA become the Defense Nuclear Agency. Although the filed command functions remained where the had been physically located for a quarter-century, control over the real estate of Sandia Base was transferred from DOD to the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force merged Sandia Base, along with its satellite, Manzano Base, into nearby Kirtland Air Force Base. Today (2009) what used to be Sandia Base is the eastern part of Kirtland AFB.
A visitor who been to the pre-1971 Sandia Base would still recognize it in Kirtland's east side. In the 1990s, the 1950s vintage Sandia military family housing was razed and modern units built. In the course of this construction, some residential streets were realigned and renamed. A new commissary and base exchange have been built on the former Sandia Base. The elementary school on Wyoming Boulevard is still called Sandia Base Elementary School.
