Airman 1st Class Clayton McMeans, 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron pavements and equipment journeyman, was the construction lead for the creation of the first softball field within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. Originally planned to be built as a dirt field, with support from wing leadership, Airmen assigned to the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron built a turf field. After seven months of construction, the softball field was completed to offer service members on base a place to release stress and boost morale. After the Washington Nationals visited the base in July 2024, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing leadership decided to construct a softball field for Airmen to play on and any other potential Major League Baseball visits.
