## Description

Air, sea, rail and road meet in one place at Fort Eustis, and Felker Army Air Field (ICAO: KFAF) is the aviation part of it. The field belongs to Joint Base Langley-Eustis near Newport News, Virginia, is used mainly for helicopter training and operations, and is home to the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), among the most frequently deployed logistics units in the US Army. It is strictly military: there is no IATA code, no scheduled service, no third-party freight handling and no public customs post. What makes the installation notable for the transport sector is its own port facilities on the James River and its rail connection, which allow the Army to combine watercraft, rail and airlift on one site. Commercial air freight in Hampton Roads instead moves through Norfolk International (ORF) and Richmond (RIC), both with cargo handling and customs, while neighbouring Newport News/Williamsburg (PHF) offers only limited capacity. For heavy or outsize consignments the sea route through the Port of Virginia at Norfolk remains the economical answer, with a short truck leg on Interstate 64. Military shipments follow US Transportation Command procedures rather than a commercial booking.
