MCGHEE TYSON AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Tenn. -- 2015 here was marked by construction.

What started as a dirt patch and some excavation on New Year's Day overtook the campus background through each reveille and retreat ceremony. Most would agree that the progress of the new facility was the one consistent memory you could share about this year at the I.G. Brown Training and Education Center. The construction will persist into 2016, until the project completion date this summer.
