JB McGuire, 305th Air Mobility Wing

The 305th Air Mobility Wing (305 AMW) is a United States Air Force strategic airlift and air refueling wing under the operational control of the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The 305 AMW is a tenant unit at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in central New Jersey.

The 305th Air Mobility Wing extends America’s global reach by generating, mobilizing and deploying C-17 Globemaster III and KC-10 Extender aircraft to conduct strategic airlift and air refueling missions. In addition to aircraft and aircrew generation, the 305th Air Mobility Wing controls one of the Air Force’s busiest aerial ports, and the air operations at both McGuire Air Force Base and Naval Support Activity Lakehurst. The Wing’s motto is “Can Do”, a description formulated in World War II when its predecessor unit, the 305th Bombardment Group, earned its reputation as courageous, innovative warriors.

McGuire AFB/McGuire, the common name of the McGuire unit of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, is a United States Air Force base located in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, approximately 16.1 miles south-southeast of Trenton. McGuire is under the jurisdiction of the USAF Air Mobility Command. It was consolidated with two adjoining US Army/Naval facilities to become part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL) on 1 October 2009, but remains commonly known by its former name as of 2012.
