About

The 19th Airlift Wing at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, is part of Air Mobility Command and provides the Department of Defense the largest C-130 fleet in the world. As part of AMC’s Global Reach capability, the wing’s responsibilities range from supplying humanitarian airlift relief to victims of disasters, to airdropping supplies and troops into the heart of contingency operations in hostile areas.

Little Rock AFB opened in October 1955. The base encompasses 6,100 acres and includes one runway and one assault landing strip. The base has more than 7,000 active-duty military and civilian members, and nearly 5,000 family members live and work on and around the base with an estimated 53,000 retirees in the local area. The base’s total impact on the regional economy in the fiscal year 2016 totaled $469 million. Additionally, the base is the 7th largest employer in the state of Arkansas in FY16 with 7,809 jobs on base and 2,847 indirect jobs.
