Not sure about that area or lay out, but could quite possibly be setting up a staging area for USAR (Urban Search And Rescue) teams. Ohio Task Force One - Ohio's State USAR team has massive amounts of equipment, trucks loaded, ready for deployment at Wright Patterson. Any time the State team gets deployed, they get the team to WP, and begin their planning and hit the road. It could be as simple as moving equipment to an area for Michigan's state task force, if they have one. Air force bases are perfect, if the deployment would be cross country, they could drop Mil transport birds in and go. As for the local task forces, in my part of the state, there are places not publicly known, where SAR equipment is stored and ready to go in the case of a local incident. Firefighter Anon.
