McGuire AFB is home to the 305th Air Mobility Wing which
comprises C-17 Globemaster III and KC-10 Extender aircraft.
The C-17A is the Air Force's newest heavy airlifter, capable
of delivering over 170,000 pounds (77 metric tons) of cargo.
Combined with the KC-10, the largest tanker aircraft in
the Air Force fleet, the C-17 can fly refueled anywhere
in the world. In addition to the active military personnel,
McGuire also is home to some Air Force Reserve units
flying both the C-17 and KC-10.

One
of the critical jobs McGuire Air Force Base accomplishes is
hosting the flying needs of next-door neighbor Fort Dix Army
installation. For years, Fort Dix has been a gateway for army
personnel shipping out to overseas locations. Air Force and
civilian contracted aircraft use McGuire's two runways to facilitate
this mission. Many hundreds of thousands of Air Force, Army,
Navy, and Marine Corps personnel have left the United States
for overseas locations from McGuire Air Force Base.
