Michael Army Airfield (IATA: DPG, ICAO: KDPG, FAA LID: DPG) is a military airport located at the Dugway Proving Ground and owned by the United States Army. It is nine miles (14 km) west of the central business district of Dugway, Tooele County, Utah, United States.

[edit] Facilities

Michael AAF previously had a 13,125 foot runway which was in poor condition.[2][3] An FAA airport diagram effective January 2008 shows a 7,000 by 150 foot runway (12/30) open parallel to the prior runway[4], but the diagram effective February 2008 shows a new 11,000 by 150 foot runway is open in place of the original runway.[5]
