DEVENS — Fort Devens is reviving its Armed Forces Day celebrations for the first time since the central Massachusetts army based was decommissioned more than a decade ago.
The public event Saturday was the idea of current base commander Lt. Col. Steven Nott, who wanted to re-establish ties with the civilian community.
The day features children’s games, as well as military displays, including tanks and Humvees.
Fort Devens was decommissioned in 1996 after 79 years as an active army base. But it’s still home to Reserve units and training facilities.
