Fort Ord Army Airfield, later renamed South Parade Ground Army Airfield is a former United States Army Air Force airfield built for World War II, located at Fort Ord. Fort Ord was an Army Base founded in 1917 on Monterey Bay of the Pacific Ocean coast in California. Fort Ord closed in 1994 by the Base Realignment and Closure act and is now the Fort Ord National Monument. In 1940 a 1,500-foot hard-surface runway was built at the Fort, just south of the main base. The single wide runway ran west/east and was later also used as a Parade Ground. In 1958 a new and larger Army airfield was built to support Fort Ord, the Fritzsche AAF. Fritzsche AAF was located northeast of Fort Ord Army Airfield. When Fritzsche AAF opened, the Fort Ord Army Airfield was renamed South Parade Ground Army Airfield.

When the South Parade Ground Army Airfield closed in 1964 it became the South Parade Ground. The South Parade Ground hangars became the base's motor pool.
