In 2007, Nackeroo Airfield was built in a record 16 days, with a dirt surface runway measuring 1,200 meters long and 45 meters wide made available for the C-130. This was built as part of the Joint Rapid Airfield Construction Project, hence its construction speed. In 2024, a sealed runway and apron was built, providing C-17 and V-22 aircraft for a place to park. It is used for joint-military exercises with the U.S.
