IWTC is the headquarters for its Center for Information Warfare Training and is part of the U.S. Navy's Tenth Fleet.

In its beginning, Corry Field was an active aviation training complex where advanced fighter plane techniques were taught.

The site saw its metamorphosis from flight training to technical training in 1960, when the first class of Navy enlisted communications technicians (their rating insignia indicated by a feather pen crossed by a spark; later known as cryptologic technicians) arrived.

To reflect this change, the Chief of Naval Operations changed the name of Corry Field to Naval Technical Training Center Corry Station In 1973, NTTC Cory Station was among the first Navy technical schools to be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools which certified that students could receive college-level credit for completed courses.
