The Aircraft Repair & Supply Center
"We Keep 'Em Flying"
A brief history of ARSC
In 1939, the original property at Elizabeth City, North Carolina, was purchased by the Federal Government and subsequently became the Coast Guard central base on the east coast. The Coast Guard grew substantially during World War II and the concept of a centralized service facility became practical. A group of officers and enlisted men devoted nine months to establish the Coast Guard Aircraft Repair and Supply Center and it was commissioned as a headquarters' unit on January 3, 1947.
