By the close of 1942, Fort Glenn had 10,579 personnel, but its role as an advanced air base had been supplanted by facilities on Adak Island farther to the west. Buildings, runways, and World War II artillery emplacements remain. It was decommissioned in 1950 and declared a National Historic Landmark District and National Register of Historic Places site in 1987.
