CFB Kingston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canadian Forces Base Kingston (also CFB Kingston) is a Canadian Forces Base located in Kingston, Ontario.
CFB Kingston is home to the Communications and Electronics Branch of the Canadian Forces. The base also hosts the Canadian Forces School of Communications and Electronics (CFSCE). Other units headquartered on the base include the Land Force Doctrine and Training System (LFDTS), Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment, 1 Wing Headquarters (1 Wg HQ), Canadian Forces Joint Operations Group (CFJOG), and 772 Electronic Warfare Squadron.
The base is also the site of Canada's Military Communications and Electronics Museum and supports the Royal Military College of Canada located close by on Point Frederick.
What is now CFB Kingston was originally known as Camp Barriefield after an adjacent village. Areas north of Highway 2 are generally known as "McNaughton Barracks", and those south as "Vimy Barracks".
CFB Kingston should not be confused with the old RCAF Station Kingston, which is in a completely different location and has a completely different history.
