Military Affairs

Purpose of Military Affairs: Coordinate efforts to protect and enhance military missions of Naval Air Station Whiting Field and other regional military installations.

Strong Military Presence Serves Santa Rosa County

It’s really quite impossible to overstate the positive impact of military affairs on Santa Rosa County…and statewide. Florida’s military and defense-related industries are critical to Florida’s economy. The $52 billion industry is the state’s third top economic sector behind tourism and agriculture; it tops the list in Santa Rosa County.

Home to Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Santa Rosa County helps make up the cradle of Naval Aviation. And, its people and influence help make this region great, strengthening an already top-notch workforce and partnering at every turn of the corner.

Great example of military collaboration:

Whiting Field has worked closely with the community on encroachment issues, which not only strengthen our military presence but also as a portion of the Joint Land Use Plan developed will allow for compatible development adjacent to Whiting Field, enhance biodiversity and advance conservation.
