Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, also known as Alvin Callender Field, is a military airfield located in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, approximately 15 miles south of downtown New Orleans. It serves as a joint reserve base supporting multiple branches of the U.S. military, including Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force Reserve units. The airfield is named in honor of Alvin Callender, a Louisiana native and World War I aviator who was killed in action in 1918. The base plays an important role in the defense readiness of the Gulf Coast region and supports a variety of training and operational missions. While the facility holds the IATA code NBG, it does not serve commercial passenger traffic and is restricted to military and government aviation operations. It is distinct from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which serves civilian air travelers in the region.
