Elmendorf AFB is located in the south central part of Alaska.
The beautiful and diverse city of Anchorage, Alaska is
immediately outside the base. This part of Alaska is sometimes
referred to as "The Banana Belt" of Alaska. Many northern tier
states such as Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan have
shorter but much colder winters than south central Alaska.
Come prepared to be awed by this beautiful base, and state.
There's nowhere else like Alaska! The base operator's phone
number is (907) 552-1110 or DSN 317-552-1110.
History
Construction on Elmendorf Field began on June 8, 1940. The
first Air Corps personnel arrived on August 12, 1940. On
November 12, 1940, the War Department formally designated what
had been popularly referred to as Elmendorf Field as Fort
Richardson. The air facilities on the post were named
Elmendorf Field in honor of Capt. Hugh M. Elmendorf killed in
1933, while flight testing an experimental fighter near Wright
Field, Ohio. After World War II, the Army moved its operations
to the new Fort Richardson and the Air Force assumed control
of the original Fort Richardson and renamed it Elmendorf Air
Force Base.
Mission
The 3rd Wing is Elmendorf's host unit. As the largest and
principle unit within the 11th AF, the 3rd Wing is tasked with
providing air defense and air superiority in Alaska, as well
as supporting Pacific Air Forces during contingencies in the
Pacific Command area of responsibility. It has three main
functional groups: Operations, Logistics, and Support.
Elmendorf provides combat ready forces on a recurring basis to
the Southwest Asia operations.
Population Served
Elmendorf AFB serves a diverse population consisting of over
23,000 active duty, guard and reserve, family members, and DoD
civilians and retirees.
Base Transportation
Local shuttle bus service is available on the base. The
shuttle bus operates Monday - Friday 6:00 am to 5:00 pm
(Except Federal Holidays). Schedules are posted at each bus
stop. The shuttle does not operate when the base is closed due
to inclement weather.
Sponsorship
Always request a sponsor before you depart PCS. If you haven't
heard from your sponsor in a timely manner, you can contact
your gaining unit command section, the Elmendorf Airman and

may open a dorm mail box for you by providing a copy of your
PCS orders and/or pertinent information (name, rank, unit, and
reporting date) to the dorm manager. After you arrive on base
and are residing in the dorm you need to contact your dorm
manager to get your box combination. The General Delivery
