 Congressman Hoyer has been the lead advocate for Southern Maryland’s military installations at the federal level and was instrumental in preserving 9,000 jobs at Patuxent River Naval Air Station while adding over 5,000 new jobs; protecting 3,000 jobs at Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center; and securing the future of Webster Field, St. Inigoes and retaining more than a dozen local contractors including 200 federal jobs and 1,400 private jobs.
Hoyer has worked closely with the Navy Alliance, the Pax Partnership, the Chamber of Commerce and local officials working to ensure that these three military installations are protected. He has further met with many of the leading decision makers at the Pentagon as part of his longstanding and ongoing efforts to educate our nation’s military leaders about the work being done at Southern Maryland’s defense installations and to make clear the vital role they play in keeping our homeland safe and secure.
Finally, as a senior member of the powerful Appropriations Committee, Congressman Hoyer has secured millions of federal dollars for a high number and wide variety of projects at Southern Maryland’s bases.
Read below about Congressman Hoyer’s ongoing efforts to prepare our military installations and our communities for the upcoming BRAC.

A Navy Day Salute to Southern Maryland’s Bases
This past Saturday, October 27th, our nation observed the 85th annual Navy Day. This is an important time to acknowledge the hard work done by the members of the U.S. Navy, as well as the inspiring actions taken by those who serve at the naval bases in our area - Patuxent River Naval Air Systems Command, Indian Head Surface Warfare Center, and the Special Communications Requirements Facility at St. Inigoes. I would like to take the observation of ‘Navy Day’ to salute their efforts and to acknowledge the vital roles and important military capabilities performed at these three facilities.
