In addition to its base at Eglin Air Force Base, the 39th Air Base Wing is also responsible for operating Hurlburt Field and Duke Field, both located in Florida. These installations serve as critical training grounds for various U.S. Air Force units, including special operations forces and air battle management and control systems operators. The 39th Air Base Wing contributes significantly to the U.S. military's readiness and capabilities by ensuring the effective functioning of its assigned bases and the continuous readiness of its personnel. This enables the Air Force to respond effectively to global challenges and maintain peace and stability around the world.
