Joint Base Charleston consists of two installations separated by about 12 miles. The air base sits roughly 10 miles from historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina, and lies within the North Charleston city limits in the heart of what is known locally as the Lowcountry — where pine and oak forests meet the natural beauty of the Intracoastal Waterway marshes and barrier island beaches.
The Weapons Station sits on the west bank of the Cooper River in the cities of Goose Creek and Hanahan. Charleston is a 35-minute drive to the south.
Charleston lies 1,371 miles southeast of the geographic center of the contiguous 48 states. In driving terms, it’s 680 miles southeast of Memphis, Tennessee; 912 miles south of Chicago; 1,100 miles east of Dallas; 743 miles northeast of New Orleans; and 1,168 miles east of Oklahoma City.
