FORT LEWIS, Wash. (AP) — Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Starting Monday that’s what the military wants the combined Fort Lewis Army and McChord Air Force bases to be called.

The combination comes from a decision five years ago to realign bases.

Fort Lewis began as Camp Lewis in 1917. McChord began as McChord Field in 1940.
