Located in the heart of Tucson, Arizona, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is home to 11,000 Airmen from 34 unique mission partners, which support six combatant commanders around the world every day. Over the years, Davis-Monthan AFB has earned a proud history of distinction and most recently was awarded the 2018 Commander and Chief's Installation Excellence Award as the best base in the Air Force.
The 355th Wing is the host unit for the installation in addition to its primary mission of deploying, employing and sustaining combat search and rescue and attack air power in support of combatant commanders anytime, anywhere in the world.
Additionally, Davis-Monthan AFB is home to 12th Air Force, the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, the 55th Electronic Combat Group, the 214th Attack Group of the Arizona Air National Guard, 943rd Rescue Group of the Air Force Reserve, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection among many others.
The base and the city of Tucson have grown and thrived together over the years. As the third largest employer in the area, the more than 46,000 men and women that make up Davis-Monthan AFB contribute more than $2.6 billion to the local economy annually.
