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. Fritzsche AAF replaced Fort Ord Army Airfield and Fort Ord Army Airfield was closed and abandoned in 1964. Fritzsche AAF later became the Marina Municipal Airport in 1994. 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. The motor pool/hangars were removed in 2006 and the site is now California State University, Monterey Bay softball field and parking lot. The runways was located just west of General Jim Moore Boulevard and just north of Lightfighter Drive in Seaside, California, just south of Marina, California. Just to the east of Fort Ord Army Airfield was Camp Pacific a camp for Works Progress Administration construction crews from 1938 to 1942.

Stilwell. It served as a recreational facility for military members for just over fifty years before Fort Ord was closed in 1994. Abandoned, Stilwell Hall fell into disrepair and was torn down in 2003 after severe coastal erosion threatened to cause the structure, filled with asbestos and lead-paint, to collapse into the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
