What it is :

White Sands National Monument is a major attraction as are the New Mexico Museum of Space History and the Lincoln National Forest. Holloman Air Force Base, the area's largest employer, is located near Alamogordo, and is the home of the F-117 Stealth Fighter Wing, the German Air Force in the U.S., and the High Speed Test Track. The U.S. Army installation near Alamogordo, is the second largest overland testing range in the world. As the birthplace of the U.S. rocket program in the 1940s, today White Sands Missile Range is the testing site for the reusable rocket and numerous Department of Defense research and evaluation programs. The City of Alamogordo is closely linked to both Holloman and White Sands, both of whom represent a combined impact of military civilian annual payroll of more than $200 million
