Adams Air Force Base

Adams Air Force Base is a heavily-fortified Enclave settlement outside the Capital Wasteland. It is available only with the Broken Steel add-on for Fallout 3. The base must be accessed by using the Presidential metro, but only after reaching the appropriate point in the quest line. The base is a separate area outside of the Capital Wasteland.

Background
Prior to the Great War, Adams Air Force Base had been the headquarters of Strategic Air Command, though that position was later relegated to Offutt Air Force Base in the Midwest. The base had not been fortified prior to the arrival of Enclave troops, and most of the robotic defenses had been offline.

Related quest: Who Dares Wins
During the Who Dares Wins quest, the Lone Wanderer is sent to wipe out the remaining Enclave soldiers in the Capital Wasteland at Adams Air Force Base. The base contains a mass of Enclave soldiers, as well as standard defenses such as sentry bots and automated turrets.

Housing District
This area is viewed by heading straight ahead at the entrance to the base. Both gates are inaccessible. Glitching in or using console commands to enter reveals nothing noteworthy, and the houses cannot be accessed because they have no doors.

Notable loot
After the end of "Who Dares, Wins"

Appearances
Adams Air Force Base appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel. It is mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas and its add-on Lonesome Road as the place where ED-E was created and sent from.

Behind the scenes
This location is based on the real-life Joint Base Andrews, formerly known as Andrews Air Force Base, and indeed, originally was to be named as such. Air Force One is stationed at JBANAF.

Bugs

 * Sometimes wrecked Vertibird pieces hang in mid-air then drop out of the sky when approached.
 * Sometimes after saving and exiting outside of the mobile base crawler, upon reloading, The Enclave and BoS soldiers previously killed will come back to life wearing nothing. Killing and searching these soldiers will get you more armor and weapons.
 * The deathclaw cages can be lock-picked (hard), then relocked using the attached deathclaw pen door terminal (needs to be hacked) multiple times, giving a lot of XP. (NOTE: Breaking the lock will also disable the terminal option to open the door)
