Founded in 1942 as Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) Kingsville, it served nearby Naval Air Station Corpus Christi as an auxiliary field, aiding in training many of the U.S Navy's pilots for World War II. Some of the Kingsville Naval Auxiliary Fields were assigned to NAAS Kingsville. In 1968, the airfield was redesignated as Naval Air Station Kingsville, and has hosted flight training operations throughout its existence. Naval Air Station Kingsville is one of the U.S. Navy’s premier locations for jet aviation training. The naval air station’s primary mission is to train Student Naval Aviators for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps and tactical jet pilots for other select NATO and Allied countries. To accomplish its mission, NAS Kingsville is home to Training Air Wing Two. The wing was the first in the Navy to operate the Boeing T-45 Goshawk aircraft. Originally equipped with the T-45A model of the Goshawk, the wing began accepting new production T-45C model aircraft in 2005. The station also operates a nearby satellite airfield, NALF Orange Grove.
Kingsville NAS has four runways to the east and a large curved apron with sheds to the west.
