I *think* the answer is that Edwards is the base and Dryden is a tenant,
i.e. there is no part of the place (except perhaps some buildings etc.)
that actually belongs to Dryden as distinct from Edwards.  I don't believe
it parallels the Canaveral/Kennedy situation, where there are two distinct
organizations with their own territories that share some support facilities.
I could be wrong.  Eugene would presumably know for sure.
