I found a reference that had a short blurb documenting the name of the base: "The base was named after Hugh Elmendorf, a captain who passed away in a plane crash during some tests."

most of the units you have listed here are no longer in service, for example the 3 FSS is now the 673d fss and the 3 sfs is now the 673d sfs. JBER changed a lot of the units and what wing they are attached to. all this can be found on the usaf base web site, i would change it but i dont have the time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.67.51.137 ( talk) 06:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
My father was stationed at Fort Richardson from 1946-1954. He and I were separated shortly after my birth but reconnected when I was about 27. We talked about many things and he had several stories about his service but I would like to know more. I would greatly appreciate anyone who could give me a lead. Looking for anyone who could recall him or that time. His name is Roland Chivers. He served as a Food Inspector, Survival Trainer, and Veterinary Tech. He was a member of Big Delta Alaska Rifle and Pistol Club. He also ended up in Look magazine with a picture of some starlet who visited the base.
Anyone who remembers him or that time frame, please contact me at kangiwitko@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.8.253.195 ( talk) 18:29, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Elmendorf Field → Elmendorf Air Force Base – Several articles were spun off of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson as cut-and-paste hack jobs, leaving a series of messes for someone else to figure out (guess who?). Some of the articles may have been previously merged to the JBER article, which brings up the issue of whether the histories are correct, but I haven't even delved into that yet. This article is about the military installation, not the airfield. As such, "Elmendorf Air Force Base" is most certainly its common name. It appears that "Elmendorf Field", in the context of referring to the installation, is a mostly historic term which fell out of common use many, many decades ago.

This article is listed as B-class but does not pass the criteria, certainly #1. I changed the B-classification to C.
