The WAARNG received the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Systems in 2004 despite a lack of facilities to store the aerial vehicles and associated equipment. For the past 16 years, the unit has been using a makeshift storage facility or hangar that is non-mission capable resulting in constant assembly, disassembly and reassembly of the vehicle and all other related equipment. This project includes design and construction of a Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems hangar at the Yakima Training Center.

The Snohomish armory lack's all the features and attributes of a readiness center such as classrooms, distance learning centers, locker rooms, physical fitness area, kitchen, weapons, and protective masks storage, enclosed areas to support training with simulation and operator-level maintenance shop for assigned equipment. This project funds renovations to the facility's kitchen, restrooms, showers, administration offices for fulltime personnel, platoon rooms for drilling population and storage areas to meet operational needs and comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

The Anacortes Readiness Center is one of the smallest facilities in the Washington National Guard inventory. It has no female restrooms, showers or locker rooms; lacks office space and classrooms for training purposes; has an inadequate supply room for necessary equipment; and is not Americans with Disabilities Act compliant. This project will design and construct an ADA-compliant facility, which will add 4,000 SF of new space; renovate offices, classrooms, the kitchen, and supply and storage areas; and create a new locker room, restrooms and showers for female members.

The training barracks, buildings 47 and 48 on Camp Murray, were built in 1940 with a combined footprint of 2,920 SF and a capacity to support 16 beds total. At 80-years-old, the buildings are past their useful life and no longer compliant with the Washington National Guard training facility standards. This project will demolish the existing barracks, then design and construct 4,000 SF of upgraded barracks that will meet modern requirements and provide 24 bed barracks.

Building 65 was built in 1940 with a capacity to support six personnel and requires a rebuild or replacement to bring it up to modern standards. This project will demolish the current barracks, then design and construct a replacement officer training barracks that meets the requirements and mission of the WAARNG and supports the transient personnel that travel for longer than 100 miles. The new facility is planned with a capacity of 12 beds.

The Ephrata Field Maintenance Shop is not equipped for modern maintenance work on the large eight-wheeled armored Stryker vehicles. This project will design and construct an addition of 2,050 SF, upgrade the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning and lighting, and install all features required for the Ephrata FMS to provide maintenance and repairs for the Stryker vehicles assigned within the region. The proposed addition is for one work bay of two vehicles depth and installation of a 7 ½ ton bridge crane.

The Washington Army National Guard Aviation Readiness Center hosts training for soldiers and regional training events. There is a regular parking shortage at the facility. Personnel and guests must often park several blocks away and walk along busy side streets with no sidewalks creating safety concerns. This project will construct a 6,000 square yard non-organizational or personally owned vehicle parking lot, which will add about 70 parking spots to support the assigned units and guests that come to the location. It also adds 145 linear yards of sidewalk to improve pedestrian safety and access to the building.
