The Aberdeen Proving Ground is still an active military base, despite the fact that some of it is being leased. An active military base, especially in a smaller community, is going to influence the culture of that community. Because service members from all over the country tend to be stationed on military bases, they bring their own unique character to the area where the base is located.
