The Depot is also the largest employer in the area. It serves as a military training facility, including desert training. And it is a US Navy air-to-air and air-to-ground training facility, as well as home to the Naval Fighter Weapons school. Reserve Marines from the 4th Marine Logistics Group conduct annual training exercises at the Depot, and in the surrounding desert area.
Not only are there three large storage facilities on site, but the Depot is also home to engineering and manufacturing divisions.
The Hawthorne Army Depot is located just a few miles outside of town. So, if you’re in the area for work or to visit, Hawthorne’s Best Inn is the perfect place to bunk when it’s lights out.
