Robins Air Force Base

Robins Air Force Base at a glance

Robins Air Force Base is an industrial, logistics and headquarters installation beside Warner Robins, Georgia. The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex performs depot maintenance and repair on Air Force equipment and weapons systems. Air Force Reserve Command is also headquartered at the base. The 78th Air Base Wing provides the installation services that support these different organizations.

Robins' public mission extends beyond aircraft repair. The 5th Combat Communications Group supplies deployable communications capabilities, while supply chain, Defense Logistics Agency and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center activities support equipment throughout its service life. This mix makes Robins a community of maintenance, materiel management, communications and command functions. Its identity is tied to the sustainment of military capability over time, rather than one operational flying wing.

Before you arrive

Use these questions with your sponsor or gaining organization. They are a starting point for planning, including assignments, courses and training periods that differ from a routine permanent change of station.

1. Confirm the organization, duration and reporting instructions shown on your orders. Ask which office handles your arrival.
2. Clarify lodging and housing arrangements before booking. Ask about availability, required approvals and how to handle a late arrival.
3. Before choosing a home, compare the commute, lease terms, school needs and your household budget. Ask the housing office about the options that apply to your situation.
4. Coordinate household goods and personal travel with the appropriate transportation office. Keep orders, receipts and important family records together.
5. Make a short list of contacts for medical care, schools, childcare and family support, where applicable to your assignment.
