Diego Garcia Naval Base Directory
IOT
Diego Garcia Naval Base is located on the largest island of the Chagos Archiplelago in the Indian Ocean - the Island of Diego Garcia. The island is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory and falls under British administrative control. In 1965, an agreement was signed that allowed Diego Gargia to be used for defense purposes by both the United Kingdom and the United States. The island's strategic location makes it the last link of a long logistic chain for US and British Naval operations in the Indian Ocean and North Arabian Sea.
The US Navy Support Facility serves as host command at Diego Garcia, with a mission to support forward deployed forces in the region. The facility is home to 16 separate commands including the Headquarters of British Forces in the British Indian Ocean Territory.
