The 908th Airlift Wing, home based at historic Maxwell-Gunter AFB in
Montgomery, Ala., is the state's only Air Force Reserve unit.
The 908th AW contributes to our nation's defense by providing airlift and related services through the dedicated efforts of more than 1,200 Reservists and eight
C-130 Hercules aircraft. Unit Reservists fly approximately 1 million miles annually engaging in training operations and supporting real-world missions.
The day-to-day operations of the 908th are handled by a group of approximately 175 civil servants known as
Air Reserve Technicians who also serve as Reservists, and a small number of civilian employees who do not have Reserve status.
