The only permanently assigned personnel are 10 USAF firefighters and one civilian grounds keeper. Facilities

The land for North Army Airfield was bought between 1942 and 1945. The airfield was built by the United States Army Air Forces The original dirt runway was constructed in April 1943 and used by Hughes Aircraft Company for testing, as well as being a satellite airfield of Columbia Army Air Base, supporting B-25 Mitchell medium bomber training for Third Air Force III Air Support Command. Training was accomplished by 74th Station Compliment Squadron which also maintained the facility.
After the war, a 12,000 ft runway and a 3,000 ft assault runway were built. North Airfield (Later North Auxiliary Airfield, Northfield Air Base), has been under the jurisdiction of Fort Jackson, Shaw AFB, the Department of Energy, and on 1 October 1979, Charleston AFB assumed real property jurisdiction, control, and accountability over North Field.
