Robins Air Force Base - Warner Robins Georgia

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Access Realty ~ 478.960.8055 anitaclark160@gmail.com

Robins Air Force Base - Warner Robins Georgia

Created primarily for the active military stationed here in middle Georgia, and specifically for the military relocating to Robins AFB, I hope you find a nugget in the information below.  Having been a "veteran" of 7 PCS moves, over 20 local moves, base housing, and a couple of DITYs, I fully understand the anticipation and fear that accompanies showing up at your "next duty station".

May your tour here at Robins AFB be Blessed...Welcome Home to Warner Robins!

Warner Robins Georgia is home to Robins Air Force Base, the largest industrial complex in the state and one of the three largest Department of Defense repair facilities in the nation.  The base employs over 27,000 civilian workers, contractors, military members, and non-appropriated fund employees. 

Robins Air Force Base - Warner Robins Air Logistics Center - Courtesy of your Robins AFB Realtor | WR-ALC Robins AFB was originally an Army Air Corps repair facility called Wellston Air Depot at Robins Field.  The base/city of Wellston were eventually renamed after Brigadier General Augustine Warner Robins, widely considered the "father of logistics".  

Co-located on Robins Air Force is the Warner Robins - Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC), the Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), and the Georgia Air National Guard (Air Control Wing).  The WR-ALC is one of only three Air Force ALCs in the U.S.

The WR-ALC is the Airlift Center of Excellence for the Air Force, providing sustainment management of the C-5, C-17, C-130, and C-141 aircraft.  Warner Robins ALC also handles sustainment functions for several combat systems such as the F-15, Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS), Special Operations Systems, U-2, and Vehicles and Support Equipment.

Air Force Reserve - Robins AFB - Courtesy of your Robins AFB Realtor | HQ AFRCHQ AFRC is the operational headquarters for all Air Force Reserve units.  AFRC provides combat readiness, logistical support, and training for all Air Force Reserve units and personnel.  AFRC also provides many specialized functions to include aerial spraying, aeromedical evacuation, counter drug missions, forest fire suppression, and weather reconnaissance.  AFRC has nearly 450 aircraft and perform over 30% of the Air Force's day-to-day missions.

The Georgia ANGs Air Control Wing is the first Total Force wing consisting of Air Force, Army, ANG personnel, civilian, and contractor personnel.  They fly, maintain, and manage uninterrupted command, control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance via the E-8C JSTARS program.

I was born at Robins AFB in Warner Robins in 1967.  Last baby born in the old base hospital (or so I'm told).  Great to read more about the city.

Bob...Come back and visit, the town is all "grown up" now.  Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Maria, it was fun to put together and I learned a few things too.

Ginny..it must be the OCD because I always think I'm missing or leaving something out.  BTW...your local posts are some of the best I've seen on here...love your writing style.

I love localism posts, not only for the consumer, but those of us outside of your selling area who might just like to learn more about your area. Great job.

I agree Keith.  I've learned so much about other areas by being an "active reader" on AR.  If I get a nugget when I read someone else's post from afar, I can only imagine the value to those living there.

As an agent who also lives close to one of the largest military bases in the nation, I can appreciate what a great post this is. I have really enjoyed working with the military families and the private employees of Fort Bragg.

Wow, lots of helpful info for military relocations.   With all you links, the families are sure to keep you post handy.   I recently learned that there is a group on ActiveRain called Military relocations.  You may want to post in that group.  I'm in Charleston, and have been getting ready to post on Charleston AFB.  I already posted on Charleston Coast Guard relocations.  Good luck...
