Welcome to Team Little Rock, the Home of 

C-130 Combat Airlift. Your assignment to 

Little Rock Air Force Base will likely be one of 

the highlights of your Air Force career. 

Extensive planning will make your transition 

to this assignment as smooth as possible and 

it all begins the moment you drive through the 

front gate. 

Getting to Little Rock, AFB 

Little Rock, Ark., about 15 miles south of the main 

gate of Little Rock Air Force Base, is a few hundred 

miles southeast of the geographic center of the contiguous 

48 states. In driving terms, it’s 140 miles west 

of Memphis, Tenn., on I-40; 655 miles south of 

Chicago, Ill., via I-55 and I-40; 315 miles northeast of 

6 Arriving at Little Rock Air Force Base 

Dallas, Texas, on I-30; 441 miles north of New Orleans, 

La., via I-55 and I-40; and 332 miles east of Oklahoma 

City, Okla., on I-40. 

From Little Rock, proceed north on U.S. 67/167, a 

combined limited-access, multilane highway. The exits 

for this route are well marked on both I-30 and I-40 

near where the two highways intersect a few miles 

north of the city. Be alert on 67/167 to some of the 

on- and off-ramps, which are a little tricky. 

From U.S. 67/167, take Exit 11 for Little Rock AFB. At 

the end of the off-ramp, turn left at the stoplight and 

drive under the freeway toward the base on the west 

side of the highway. Frequent and easily spotted greenand-white 

road signs point the way to the base.

At the main gate, stop by the visitor’s center and register your ID 

and family member IDs with DBIDS. A photo ID is required for all 

adults in your vehicle. Traveling with a copy of each child’s birth 

certificate is always a good idea in case of questions from security. 

Other Means of Transportation 

Several major airlines offer daily service to Little Rock National 

Airport from anywhere in the country and a handful of foreign 

cities. AMTRAK is also available, as is commercial bus service. If 

you arrive via one of these, advise your sponsor of your time of 

arrival and keep them informed of any delays. Your sponsor will 

probably pick you up or arrange transportation to the base. 

Lodging 

Razorback Inn, Bldg. 1024 

The best place to stay on your first night is the on-base guesthouse, 

the Razorback Inn, DSN 731-6652 or (501) 987-6652. Once 

through the main gate, take the first left on Arnold Drive, drive a 

short distance and turn left at the stoplight. The inn is on your left 

but because the parking lot is laid out with one-way streets, you'll 

drive past the inn, turn left and circle back to the left toward the 

front door. 

LITTLE ROCK 2013 AFB GUIDE Arriving at Little Rock Air Force Base 7

Pets are only allowed in available TLF “pet-friendly 

rooms.” If there are none available, expect either to be 

directed off base or to board your pet(s) until you can 

arrange for permanent housing. The Razorback Inn 

staff will assist with these and any other concerns, and 

provide a statement of nonavailability, should space be 

unavailable, to spend the night in temporary lodging 

off base. 

Once you’ve arranged for billeting, notify your sponsor 

and, if during duty hours, call the orderly room of 

your receiving unit. You will probably be invited to sign in, 

a formality that places you back in a duty status from a 

leave or travel status. If you arrive after duty hours, call 

the orderly room first thing in the morning of the next 

duty day, though signing in upon arrival is always better. 

In-Processing 

Calls to your sponsor and your new unit will help 

determine your immediate schedule at Little Rock AFB. 

Generally, you will be given several days to arrange for 

permanent housing, whether on base or in the local 

area. A later chapter details on-base housing options 

and opportunities for off-base housing. 

A mandatory event during your first days at Little 

Rock AFB is the one-stop in-processing at the 

Newcomers Joint Introduction from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

every other Wednesday. 

To register, call the Airman and Family Readiness 

Center at (501) 987-6801 or stop by the center’s 

office in Bldg. 688. 

Base leaders and community representatives will welcome 

you to your new assignment as well as highlight 

local attractions. If you’re married, bring your spouse to 

learn about the many family programs and opportunities. 

8 Arriving at Little Rock Air Force Base 

The Airman and Family Readiness Center offers 

free PCS childcare for all ranks. Visit or call DSN 

731-6801 or (501) 987-6801 to make arrangements. 

You’ll also turn in your personnel 

records and file your travel voucher as 

part of the one-stop in-processing. 

Vehicle Registration 

Because decals are no longer required for entering 

Little Rock AFB, personnel do not need to register personal 

vehicles on base. The mandatory ID check made 

the decals redundant. 

Firearms Registration 

Personnel living in the dorms or billeted in the 

Razorback Inn must turn in firearms to the 19th Security 

Forces Squadron in Bldg. 480. Service members can 

then sign out these arms from a secure locked arms 

room whenever he or she wishes to use the firearm. 

When transporting firearms on base, all weapons 

must be unloaded and stored in the vehicle separately 

from ammunition. 

Personnel living in family housing or off base are 

not required to register their personal firearms on Little 

Rock AFB. 


Consolidated Support Facility 

Location: Bldg. 1255 

Offices in this building handle personnel, finance 

and household goods shipments. You can also pick up 

ID cards (you will need a letter from your first sergeant 

to replace a lost card), arrange to have your household 

goods delivered — or shipped — and check personnel 

records. Sign in and ask for directions at the information 

desk just inside the front door. 

Hours of Operation: 

Monday through Friday: 

7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 

Closed Saturday, Sunday 

and down-days 

Phone System 

The 911 emergency system is used at Little Rock AFB 

and in the surrounding area just as it is within the rest of 

the United States and Canada. Dialing 911 from an onbase 

or off-base phone connects to an operator who can 

immediately arrange for police, fire or medical service to 

respond appropriately to an emergency. 

Dialing a call from office to office on base or making a 

call to base housing requires dialing seven digits. 

To call off base from an official phone, first dial 99, then 

the seven-digit number for numbers within the 501 area 

code. Calls to other area codes require a PIN and can be 

obtained from your unit telephone control officer. From 

base housing, dial the seven-digit number for calls within 

the 501 area code, or 1, area code and number for calls 

outside the 501 area code. 

DSN service is available from official phones on base. 

To call, first dial 94, then the seven-digit number. 

The C-130A on static display at the main gate is one of the more famous of the Herks used 

by the Air Force for the past half century. This aircraft was actually the last one out of Saigon 

in the spring of 1975 when the armies of North Vietnam overran South Vietnam. 

Flown by a Vietnamese flight crew, this aircraft set a record which will likely never be 

challenged. When it landed in Thailand several hours later, after getting lost and wandering out 

over the South China Sea, more than 450 people came down the ramp. Some 32 of these 

people actually rode in the cockpit. 

The story is that in Saigon, as the plane prepared to take off, 

hundreds and hundreds of refugees made their way to the airport to 

try and get aboard any plane going anywhere. These refugees 

surged up the ramp as the C-130 prepared for take-off. The plane 

prepared to taxi, but it was so crowded that the crew chief could not 

raise the ramp. Informed of this problem, the pilot began taxiing and 

then slammed on the brakes, which caused everybody in the aircraft 

to jolt forward. This created just enough space to raise the ramp. 

The ramp was quickly hoisted into position and every inch of runway 

was used to stagger into the air with a grossly overloaded aircraft.

LITTLE ROCK 2013 AFB GUIDE Arriving at Little Rock Air Force Base 9

A SHORT HISTORY OF 

LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE 

Over the years, the men and women of the 

Jacksonville community have developed and 

cultivated a high level of pride in their local 

base. This stems from both the base’s unique origins, 

and the important missions and aircraft that have 

been assigned to Little Rock AFB over the years. From 

the beginning, the base has played a major role in 

accomplishing the Air Force mission while carving out 

a rich heritage. 

A community project 

In late 1951, after learning of the Air Force’s desire 

for a new base in the central United States, local leaders 

wrote to the secretary of the Air Force urging consideration 

of the Little Rock area. The Air Force was 

warm to the idea but Congress would not allocate 

funds to purchase property with so many surplus bases 

remaining from World War II. In an ambitious move, the 

local leaders convinced Pentagon officials that funds 

would be raised locally, and the land purchased and 

donated to the Air Force. In January 1952, the Air Force 

accepted and local officials went to work. 

By the end of September 1952, the Pulaski County 

Citizens Council (the forerunner of the Little Rock Air 

Force Base Community Council) had collected almost 

10 Little Rock Air Force Base History 

A B-58 Hustler in flight. 

(U.S. Air Force photo) 

$1 million through immense fundraising efforts, and 

began buying property from more than 150 landowners 

near Jacksonville. That same month, the Air Force 

announced plans to build a $31 million jet bomber 

base on the site. The fundraising and purchase 

process took nearly 18 months, but the land needed 

most urgently was purchased first, and construction 

began on Dec. 8, 1953. 

The Air Force assigned the base to Strategic Air 

Command. By August 1954, SAC had identified the 

newly established 70th Strategic Reconnaissance 

Wing, flying RB-47 Stratojet reconnaissance aircraft 

and KC-97 aerial refueling aircraft, as the first 

organization assigned to the base. SAC also assigned 

the new 384th Bombardment Wing, flying B-47 

Stratojet bombers. 

The first Airmen began arriving in 1954, but no 

living quarters were available. Instead, the Airmen 

were scattered throughout the community, some in 

temporary quarters at Camp Joseph T. Robinson in 

North Little Rock, and others at the Little Rock YMCA 

and even in the homes of local citizens. Housing 

shortages would continue for many years. 

In January 1955, the 70th Strategic Reconnaissance 

Wing officially activated at the not-yet-completed base, 


followed by the 384th Bombardment Wing in August. 

Neither wing had aircraft yet. 

Col. Joseph A. Thomas arrived as the first base 

commander in February 1955. His primary duty was to 

oversee and coordinate construction. Tragically, barely 

five months after assuming command, Col. Thomas 

died in the crash of the base's only aircraft, a C-45 

assigned for administrative transportation. Before his 

death, Col. Thomas was able to oversee the completion 

of much of the essential infrastructure. Thomas 

Avenue and the Thomas Community Activities Center 

were dedicated in honor of his service. 

At 8 a.m. on Sept. 10, 1955, the base officially 

opened to air traffic. In a special ceremony, local leaders 

and personnel welcomed the 70th Strategic 

Reconnaissance Wing. Three RB-47s specifically 

thanked the community for its support through their 

names: “Razorback,” “City of Little Rock” and “City of 

Jacksonville.” (Although this was the defining moment, 

these aircraft were actually not the first RB-47s to land 

at base. Two aircrews had landed three days earlier for 

a one-night familiarization visit. Paint crews, still working 

on the runway, took a break as the aircraft made 

their final approach.) 

A month later, on Oct. 9, 1955, Secretary of the 

Air Force Donald A. Quarles, Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, 

SAC commander, and about 85,000 visitors dedicated 

the new base. By that date, 90 buildings were either 

finished or in the final phase of construction, but the 

base was far from complete. 

Strategic operations during the Cold War 

During these early years, the 70th Strategic 

Reconnaissance Wing flew reconnaissance missions. 

Crew members and maintainers provided an “eye in 

the sky,” launching missions from Little Rock AFB to 

various operating locations around the world. Prior to 

the U-2 Dragon Lady, the B-47 was the plane of choice 

to overfly and photograph potential adversaries. For 

most of the 1950s, nothing could touch a Stratojet. 

Surface-to-air missiles were in their infancy and neither 

anti-aircraft artillery nor enemy fighters could climb to 

the Stratojet’s altitude. For a time, it flew almost anywhere 

with impunity. 

While the 70th was a photographic reconnaissance 

organization, other RB-47s equipped with sensitive 

monitoring equipment flew at, and sometimes over, the 

Soviet Union border. This would prompt the Soviets to 

activate their defenses, which the RB-47 crews monitored 

and recorded. 

This data then formed the basis for effective war 

plans to be carried out by bomb wings like the 384th. 

This method of testing a potential enemy was extremely 

perilous. Aircrews were pushed to the limits.

Assigned bomber alert duties, the 384th Bombardment 

Wing spent countless days and nights with their aircraft 

armed, fueled and ready to go at a moment’s notice. 

384th aircrews also commonly participated in “reflex” 

operations, continually rotating to forward locations 

around the world. Both wings maintained a high state 

of readiness for any potential Cold War crises. 

By mid-1957, there were more 

than 5,500 military personnel and 

300 civilian employees assigned to 

Little Rock AFB. This large increase 

in personnel in such a short time 

compounded the ongoing housing 

problem, especially for military members 

with families. Accordingly, the 

Air Force hired Miles Construction to 

build 1,535 family housing units. By 

May 1, 1959, all of them were either 

occupied or ready for occupancy. 

LITTLE ROCK 2013 AFB GUIDE Little Rock Air Force Base History 11

From 1958 to 1961, the 70th Strategic Reconnaissance 

Wing took on a training mission in addition to its 

reconnaissance missions. The wing was also briefly 

assigned an operational bombing mission in the B-47, 

but was subsequently discontinued in 1962 before being 

assigned to Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base in 

Oklahoma. Today, the 70th Intelligence Wing at Fort 

Meade, Md. carries on the wing’s lineage. Many of the 

70th’s aircrew members were transferred 

to the 384th, along with 

responsibility for the base itself. 

In January 1961, construction 

began on 18 underground silos to 

house Titan II Intercontinental 

Ballistic Missiles. While construction 

on the silos continued, the 

308th Strategic Missile Wing activated, 

organized and began 

preparing for its strategic deterrence 

role at Little Rock AFB. 

Three years later on Jan 1, 1964, 

the 308th completed its first full 

operational day with missiles on 

alert in all 18 silos. Qualified crews 

would staff and support the missiles 

24 hours a day for the next 23 years. 

In 1962, the Arkansas Air 

National Guard arrived at Little 

Rock AFB. Formerly operating out 

of Adams Field in Little Rock, the 

154th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron began 

moving operations out to the base, bringing with it a 

venerable tradition as a combat unit. Just a month

later, it was reorganized under the 189th Tactical 

Reconnaissance Group, flying RF-101s. 

In response to the Pueblo Crisis of 1968, the 

group’s 154th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was 

activated and deployed in its RF-101 reconnaissance 

planes to Japan. There, Arkansas’ Airmen provided tactical 

reconnaissance services during an extended period 

of diplomatic tension. 

Everett Tucker returns from Washington with an 

agreement that if the land is donated, the Air Force 

will build a base. Jan. 12, 1952. 



The era of the Stratojet at Little Rock AFB 

ended Sept. 1, 1964, when the 384th 

Bombardment Wing was discontinued and 

inactivated. (Though not an active 

wing today, the 384th served from 

2003 to 2004 as an Air Expeditionary 

Wing out of Bahrain.) 

The same day the 

384th was discontinued, 

the 43rd Bombardment 

Wing arrived at Little 

Rock AFB from Carswell AFB, Texas. Rather than being 

a newly organized unit, the 43rd already had a proud 

history of aerospace accomplishments, including the 

first nonstop flight around the world, a 47-hour flight 

endurance record, and a string of other records. They 

brought with them a new jet bomber: the supersonic B- 

58 Hustler. Once at Little Rock, the wing added KC-135 

refuelers to its inventory. For the next five-and-a-half 

years, the 43rd carried out its mission 

of strategic bombardment 

readiness and air refueling.

Aircraft 2314 was the first C-130J to arrive at 

Little Rock AFB. 


In mid-1969, however, the Air Force began to 

retire the aging fleet of B-58s. On Jan. 31, 1970, the 

43rd Bombardment Wing retired its last B-58 and officially 

inactivated. 

The arrival of the Hercules 

Five weeks later, the headquarters of the 64th 

Tactical Airlift Wing assumed duties as the base’s host 

unit. Along with the 64th came the 4442d Combat Crew 

Training Wing. Both wings flew the C-130 Hercules, a 

small, agile transport plane. The base was transferred 

to Tactical Air Command. The 308th Strategic Missile 

Wing, meanwhile, continued to staff and operate the 

missile silos north of the base. 

On May 31, 1971, in a move 

more symbolic than substantial, 

the 64th inactivated, and the 

314th Tactical Airlift Wing moved 

in. Officially, the 314th had 

moved from Ching Chuan Kang 

Air Base in the Republic of China, 

but the wing moved without personnel 

or equipment, and the 

subordinate units at Little Rock 

AFB were simply reassigned 

from the 64th to the 314th. Unit 

names and emblems changed, 

but the mission and personnel 

remained the same. 


Shortly thereafter, the 4442d Combat Crew Training 

Wing inactivated, and the 314th absorbed its training 

role. The next major change occurred on Jan. 31, 1972, 

when the base welcomed the 834th Air Division. The 

additional layer of command soon proved superfluous 

and the division was inactivated on Dec. 31, 1974, 

though not before it and the 314th transferred from TAC 

to Military Airlift Command. 

The regular Little Rock AFB units enjoyed relative 

stability for the next 13 years; the 314th Tactical Airlift 

Wing flew and trained C-130 air and maintenance 

crews and the 308th Strategic Missile Wing stood alert 

with Titan II ICBMs. However, major changes in the 

Arkansas Air National Guard continued to bring alterations 

to the base. 

In 1976, the 189th Air Guardsmen transitioned to a 

refueling mission and began an around-the-clock alpha 

alert for SAC, providing refueling assets to a wide variety 

of tanker task forces. In 1986, the unit finally 

assumed its current mission: tactical airlift training in 

the C-130. The change was a true implementation of 

the Total Force concept, as the base’s Air Force and Air 

National Guard wings began working together on a 

common mission: the training and employment of the 

world’s best C-130 combat airlifters. 

On Aug., 18, 1987, after 23 years of aroundthe-clock 

duty, the 308th Strategic Missile Wing quietly

inactivated, going into history as the last unit to perform 

operational duty with Titan II missiles. The crews had 

spent more than 14 million man-hours on watch underground, 

with countless millions more invested by support 

crews above ground, to maintain the United 

States’ strategic deterrence. 

On June 1, 1992, the base and 314th Airlift Wing 

were assigned to the new Air Mobility Command, the 

successor to MAC. Only 16 months later, the wing was 

again reassigned to Air Combat Command, a new 

command created to combine functions from SAC and 

TAC. On April 1, 1997, the base’s commands were 

again shaken up as the 314th was reassigned to Air 

Education and Training Command. At the same time, 

the 463rd Airlift Group was activated at the base as a 

tenant under AMC. The purpose of these changes was 

to move the C-130 schoolhouse under AETC while 

retaining AMC’s operational control over C-130 airlift. 

Operationally, the base remained a hive of activity 

throughout the 1990s. Little Rock provided assets to 

operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and operations 

Northern Watch and Southern Watch, which 

enforced the subsequent no-fly zones over Iraq. Other 

humanitarian and peacekeeping missions included 

Provide Comfort in Iraq, Provide Relief and Restore 

Hope in Somalia, Uphold Democracy in Haiti, and 

Operation Joint Endeavor in Bosnia-Herzegovina. 


The present 

In the first decade of the 21st Century, 

Team Little Rock was busier than ever, providing 

C-130 combat airlift across the globe in 

support of major combat and humanitarian 

missions, as well as training C-130 crews from 

around the world. The 314th, 189th, and 463rd 

all provided substantial support to rescue 

efforts in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina 

and Rita. Personnel and aircraft also sustained 

several missions connected with the Global 

War on Terror. 

The future of combat airlift arrived at Little 

Rock on March 19, 2004, when the first activeduty 

C-130J was delivered to the base. The C- 

130J incorporates state-of-the-art technology 

to reduce manpower requirements and lower 

operating and support costs while flying faster 

and farther than previous models. The new 

model will extend the life and relevance of the 

C-130 well beyond its already long tenure as 

one of the longest-serving military aircraft 

types in history. 

On Oct. 1, 2008, the 19th Airlift Wing was 

activated at Little Rock, and took over the 

duties, personnel, and aircraft of the inactivating 

463rd Airlift Group. Reflecting an increase 

in AMC assets on the base, the 314th AW also 

relinquished its host wing duties to the 19th 

AW and Air Mobility Command. 

For more than four decades, Little Rock Air 

Force Base has truly been the Home of C-130 

Combat Airlift. Its planes and crews have delivered 

troops, cargo and support to the thick of 

the fight anywhere, at any time. No matter their 

background or branch of service, our nation’s 

C-130 Combat Airlifters come here first 

to train. Some stay to employ what they 

have learned, and some return to teach 

and lead the next generation of combat 

airlifters. But no matter what path brings 

them here, they all arrive to find a mission-focused 

team of professionals, a 

warm and welcoming community, and a 

proud heritage of service to the nation 

and each other.

Little Rock AFB Units 

Little Rock AFB is the home of C-130 Combat 

Airlift. The 19th Airlift Wing is the host unit, which 

reports to the Air Mobility Command. There are 

three major partner units located here: the 314th Airlift 

Wing, which reports to Air Education and Training 

Command; the 189th Airlift Wing of the Arkansas Air 

National Guard, which also reports to AETC; and 22nd 

Air Force/Detachment 1 reports to the Air Force 

Reserve Command. Additionally, the 29th Weapons 

Squadron reports to Air Combat Command, the 96th 

Aerial Port Squadron reports to Air Force Reserve 

Command, and the 123rd Intelligence Squadron and 

the 154th Weather Flight are geographically separate 

units of the Arkansas Air National Guard. 

19th Airlift Wing 

Who We Are 

The 19th Airlift Wing provides the Department of 

Defense the largest C-130 fleet in the world. The wing is 

part of AMC and reports directly to 18th Air Force at Scott 

Air Force Base, Ill. As part of AMC’s Global Reach 

capability, the wing’s responsibilities include supplying 

humanitarian airlift relief to victims of disasters and flying 

supplies and troops into the heart of hostile areas. 

The C-130 Hercules primarily performs the tactical 

airlift mission. The aircraft operates from rough dirt strips 

and transports troops and equipment for drops into 

hostile areas. The C-130 serves under AMC, ACC and 

Special Operations Command as well as U.S. Air Forces 

in Europe, Pacific Air Forces, Air National Guard and the 

Air Force Reserve Command. Little Rock AFB is home to 

more than 90 C-130 E, H and J models.

Unit History 

In 79 years of active service under the emblem of the 

winged sword, the 19th has flown, fought and won with 

the motto: In Alis Vincimus — on wings we conquer! 

The 19th Bombardment Group was stationed at Clark 

Field near Manila, Philippines, when the Japanese 

attacked on Dec. 8, 1941. The result was 

devastating: Half of the Group’s B-17s were 

destroyed on the ground, with 55 men killed. 

Scraping together what aircraft were still available, the 

group flew the first American bombing missions of the war 

against Japanese shipping and invasion craft. But the 

situation in the Philippines was dire, and the group’s air 

echelon evacuated to Australia within days. Many 

members of the ground echelon couldn’t be evacuated; 

members of the 19th fought as infantry in the defense of 

Bataan. Some were captured and took part in the Bataan 

Death March, and others fought as guerillas. 

The 19th Bombardment Group flew in the defense 

of Java and New Guinea, and the battles of the Coral 

Sea and Guadalcanal before rotating home to Texas in 

late 1942. Even on the return journey, some of the 

group’s crews carried bomb loads for enemy targets as 

they passed. 

In that single year of combat, members of the 19th 

earned the Medal of Honor and more than 50 

Distinguished Service Crosses. For its service, the Group 

was awarded six Distinguished Unit Citations, the highest 

award the United States can confer on a military unit. The 

price was high: Two-thirds of the 19th were killed, 

captured or wounded in the first year of the war. 

On April 1, 1944, the 19th was relocated to Kansas 

and equipped with new B-29 Superfortresses before 

returning to the Pacific to bomb the Japanese home 

islands. On Aug. 14, 1945, as the group flew home from

a bombing mission, President Harry S. Truman 

announced the unconditional surrender of the Empire of 

Japan. The 19th Bombardment Group, which had flown 

the first American bombing missions of WWII, had flown 

the last. 

As part of a post-war reorganization in 1948, the Air 

Force formed the 19th Bombardment Wing as the host 

unit for Andersen Air Base, Guam. The 19th 

Bombardment Group became its operational flying unit. 

When communist forces attacked South Korea on 

June 25, 1950, the 19th Bombardment Group was 

immediately detached and sent to Okinawa, Japan. Over 

the next two months alone, the group flew more than 600 

combat sorties supporting United Nations ground forces. 

Superfortress turret gunners also claimed aerial 

victories against enemy fighters. In 1951, members of 

the 19th Bombardment Group racked up 10 kills 

against MiG fighters. This constituted 38 percent of all 

confirmed B-29 turret gun kills in the Korean War. 

Shortly before the war’s end, the 19th Bombardment 

Wing was reunited with the Group. For the second time 

in a row, the 19th had the distinction of being present at 

the very beginning and at the very end of a war. 

After Korea, the 19th was reassigned to Strategic Air 

Command to fly B-47 Stratojets. The addition of air 

refueling squadrons, with their KC-97s, extended the 


short reach of the B-47. In 1962 the 19th, now at 

Homestead AFB, Fla., converted to B-52s and KC-135s. 

In mid-1968, the 19th moved without personnel or 

equipment to Robins AFB in Georgia, where it absorbed 

the resources and personnel of the 465th Bombardment 

Wing. It also absorbed the Black Knights nickname at this 

time, which the men and women of the 19th have proudly 

borne ever since. 

In 1972 and 1973, the 19th provided aircraft and crews 

to units in Southeast Asia. As the crews and aircraft 

returned, the 19th resumed its place in the nation’s 

strategic deterrence. In 1983, the 19th gave up its 

bombers and was redesignated the 19th Air Refueling 

Wing. The change to tankers meant an increase in the 

wing’s operations tempo. The wing supported numerous 

tanker task forces, and flew aerial refueling missions 

supporting the invasions of Grenada and Panama. When 

Operation Desert Storm began in 1991, the wing flew 

almost 7,000 combat-support hours and offloaded almost 

59 million pounds of fuel, all in just 43 days. 

The wing provided air refueling support to NATO 

fighters in Bosnia in 1995. In 1996, Black Knight tankers 

deployed to Southwest Asia to support Operation 

Southern Watch, to Turkey for Operation Provide Comfort, 

and to France for Operation Deny Flight. 

On July 1, 1996, the 19th Air Refueling Wing was 

inactivated, and its mission was turned over to its 

operations group, redesignated the 19th Air Refueling 

Group. This force deployed to numerous contingency 

operations. In 1998 and 1999, the Black Knights 

supported Operations Northern Watch, Desert Thunder, 

Constant Vigil, Deliberate Forge, and Allied Force. 

The terrorist attacks of 2001 brought a whole new pace 

of operations. Just as in World War II and Korea, the 19th 

was in the fight early, providing aerial refueling capabilities 

to special operators and conventional forces over 

Afghanistan and Iraq.

The flagship of the 19th Air Refueling Wing, KC-135 

Cherokee Rose, famously set 16 time-to-climb records. 


The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission 

decided the aerial refueling mission at Robins AFB would 

be discontinued. In the seventh year of the Global War on 

Terror, the 19th Air Refueling Group’s flags were cased on 

June 1, 2008. Four months later, the group and wing were 

reunited, redesignated and activated at Little Rock Air 

Force Base as the 19th Airlift Wing. 

Today, the 19th Airlift Wing is the largest C-130 tactical 

airlift wing in the world. Its personnel are heavily engaged 

in combat and humanitarian operations around the world, 

including Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, 

and New Dawn. In 2010, 15 of its aircraft participated in 

Operation Unified Response, delivering aid to Haiti.

22 Base Units 

New Prescriptions: All new prescriptions are processed 

at the main pharmacy. The pharmacy accepts 

both military and civilian prescriptions for eligible 

beneficiaries. Patients must check in with pharmacy 

staff in order to activate new and renewal prescriptions. 

Patients should utilize the automated queuing system 

located at the volunteer desk in the pharmacy lobby to 

facilitate check-in based on prescription type and/or 

desired pickup time. New civilian prescriptions are 

processed between 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m 

to 4 p.m. Prescriptions entered by military providers are 

processed anytime between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 

4 p.m. New prescriptions will be filled for items carried 

on the pharmacy formulary. Copies of the formulary are 

available on the base website: www.littlerock.af.mil 

(look under the “Community Interest” section on the 

right hand side of the homepage and click on 

“Pharmacy Formulary”). Hard copies of the formulary 

are also available at the main pharmacy. The pharmacy 

does not accept new prescriptions or prescription 

renewals via telephone or fax from provider’s offices, 

hospitals or nursing homes. Electronic or stamped 

signatures are not accepted for controlled substances. 

Drug information and patient education are provided 

with all new prescriptions and are available from the 

pharmacy staff upon request. 

Prescription Drop-Off: Individuals who are unable 

to wait for prescriptions to be processed may drop 

them off to be processed later. Prescriptions dropped 

off before 1 p.m. are available after 2 p.m. the same day 

or the following duty day. Prescriptions dropped off after 

2 p.m. will be ready for pick-up the following duty day 

during normal duty hours. Due to limited shelf space, 

prescriptions not picked up within 72 hours will be 

returned to stock. This rule also applies to patients seen 

at the base medical clinic. 


Quantity and Refill Limitations: Physicians may 

prescribe up to a 90-day supply for maintenance 

medications (e.g., blood pressure, diabetic medications, 

etc.) with refills for up to one year from the date the 

prescription was written, except for controlled 

substances (e.g., pain medications, certain sleeping 

medications, etc). Controlled substances or narcotics 

may be filled for up to a 30-day supply with up to five 

refills within six months of the date the prescription was 

written. No refills are permitted for schedule II controlled 

substances. (ADHD medications can be written for a 

90-day supply with no refills.) 

Refill Prescriptions: All refills are processed at the 

refill pharmacy. The pharmacy has a mandatory call-in 

refill policy, with an automated telephone refill system 

available at all times. Patients with touch-tone or rotary 

dial telephones may use this system by calling (501) 

987-7457, or by calling the toll-free number, (877) 329- 

5762. Refills may be called in once 75 percent of the 

prescription has been used. Items will be kept on the 

shelf for seven days once phoned in. 

Prescription Transfers: Patients with active 

(nonexpired) prescriptions originally filled at other 

pharmacies (either military or civilian) with refills 

remaining may bring the original label to the pharmacy 

to have the remaining refills “transferred” to this facility. 

Please allow three duty days to process transferred 

prescriptions. Note: Due to time zone differences, 

prescription transfers from OCONUS bases may require 

additional processing time. 

Picking Up Prescriptions: As a patient safety 

measure, anyone picking up a prescription on behalf of 

another patient (except for dependent children under 18 

years of age) must be in possession of the patient’s 

military ID card (or a photocopy of both the front and 

back of the ID). Parents or legal guardians must pick up 

prescriptions for dependent children under 18 years of 

age. The child’s military ID card is very helpful, but not 

required, to validate eligibility, especially if the child has 

a different last name and Social Security number than 

the sponsor or person picking up the medication. 

Options Other Than the Base Pharmacy: If your 

medication is not available at the base pharmacy, you 

have the following options to obtain a prescription: 

TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP): For up to 

a 90-day supply, formulary generic items are available 

for no co-pay, formulary brand medications are available 

for a $9 co-pay, and non-formulary medications are 

available for a $25 co-pay as written by the provider (a 

prior authorization or medical necessity form filled out 

by your provider may reduce the $25 co-pay to $9). 

TRICARE Retail Network: If in need of a medication 

for an acute illness or condition (e.g., antibiotics, pain 

medications, etc.) when the base pharmacy is closed, 

or for a medication not carried on the base formulary, 

patients may choose to use a TRICARE Retail Network 

Pharmacy (most local pharmacies, with the exception 

of Walgreens). For up to a 30-day supply, formulary 

generic items are available for a $5 co-pay, formulary 

brand medications are available for a $12 co-pay, 

and non-formulary medications are available for a $25 

co-pay as written by the provider (a prior authorization 

or medical necessity form filled out by your provider 

may reduce the $25 co-pay to $12). 

The TMOP and network pharmacy benefit are 

available to TRICARE-eligible retirees and their 

family members. The TMOP formulary contains most 

FDA-approved oral and topical prescription medications. 

Several classes of medications are excluded, such as 

drugs for weight control, smoking cessation, cosmetic 

purposes, etc. 

For more information regarding your TRICARE 

Pharmacy benefit, visit the TRICARE service center 

in Bldg. 1090, or www.express-scripts.com/TRICARE. 

Third Party Collections (TPC): DoD policy requires 

MTF personnel to verify the TPC status of all non-activeduty 

members on an annual basis. Pharmacy staff will 

refer patients whose status is not current to the TPC 

office to comply with this requirement.

314th Airlift Wing 

Who We Are 

The 314th Airlift Wing, Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., 

is the nation’s tactical airlift “Center of Excellence” and 

trains C-130 aircrew members from the Department 

of Defense, Coast Guard and 42 nations to date. The 

314th Airlift Wing is aligned under Air Education and 

Training Command, reporting to the 19th Air Force 

at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. The wing flies 15,600 

hours annually and utilizes two local drop zones, two 

local assault landing zones, 10 regional airfields and 

20 flight simulators/training devices to train more than 

1,800 students annually, including more than 300 

international students in DoD’s largest international flight 

training program. 

The 314th Airlift Wing consists of approximately 900 

military and 300 civilian personnel. The instructor force in 

the 314th Airlift Wing is the most experienced cadre of C- 

130 flight instructors in the world. Students receive 

training in all five crew positions — aircraft commander, 

pilot, navigator, flight engineer and loadmaster. Military 

Training Leaders assigned to the 714th Training 

Squadron provide continuous professional development 

for non-prior-service loadmaster students in the initial 

training pipeline. 

The 314th Operations Group and the 314th Maintenance 

Group operate and maintain the world’s largest 

training fleet of C-130s. The 62nd Airlift Squadron flies 

C-130H2 Hercules and the 48th Airlift Squadron flies 

C-130J Hercules to accomplish the wing mission. The 

714th Training Squadron manages an $845 million C-130 

Aircrew Training System contract and oversees 124 specialized 

graduate-level flying training courses ranging 

in length from one week to seven months. The 314th 

Aircraft Maintenance Squadron provides flight line 

maintenance for assigned aircraft, and the 314th 

Maintenance Operations Squadron oversees maintenance 

programs. 

Mission 

The wing’s mission is to train the world’s best C-130 

combat airlifters to fly, fight and win. The wing’s vision is 

to build the foundation of America’s combat airlift 

capability by instilling a combat airlift culture and warrior 

ethos, and developing the skills to successfully function 

in an operational unit. 

Unit History 

The 314th Airlift Wing was initially activated as the 

314th Troop Carrier Wing Medium in 1948, but its roots 

trace back to the early days of World War II. The 314th 

actually began with the activation of the 314th Transport 

Group in 1942, but was redesignated the 314th Troop 

Carrier Group later that year to conduct stateside training 

with C-47 and C-53 cargo aircraft, then transferred 

overseas in 1943 for duty in the Mediterranean theater of 

operations and the invasion of Europe. 

During the invasions of Sicily and Italy, the group 

dropped paratroopers and supplies and earned its first 

Distinguished Unit Citation for a mission over Sicily 

(Operation Husky) in the face of horrible weather and 

heavy attack by ground and naval forces. In 1944, the 

group formed part of the initial D-Day invasion, again 

dropping paratroopers and flying resupply missions, 

which earned a second Distinguished Unit Citation. Other 

missions included the invasion of Holland and an 

airborne and glider assault across the Rhine River into 

Germany. When the war ended, the 314th evacuated 

Allied prisoners from Germany before transferring back to 

the United States in 1946. 

Two years later, the group joined the newly activated 

314th Troop Carrier Wing. When war broke out in Korea 

in 1950, the group detached from the wing and relocated 

to Ashiya, Japan, transporting troops and supplies to 

Korea and evacuating wounded personnel for the 

duration of the war. Major combat operations included 

supporting allied forces in both offensive and defensive 

struggles in missions over Sunchon, Pyongyang, the 

Chosin Reservoir, Munsan-Ni, Chipyong-Ni, and many 

other locations. 

The airdrops over Chipyong-Ni were of particular 

importance. In February 1951, an embattled team of 

allied forces was completely surrounded, pinned down, 

out of ammunition and vastly outnumbered. With a series 

of resupply airdrops, 314th aircrews gave those forces a 

fighting chance. They held the strategic position and 

eventually recaptured the surrounding areas in a battle 

known as the “Gettysburg of the Korean War.” 

In 1957, the wing received the first of its Lockheed 

C-130 “Hercules” aircraft, the same airframe it flies 

today. Together with the U.S. Army, the 314th developed 

tactics for assault airlift operations and participated in 

air demonstrations, exercises, maneuvers and other 

joint operations. 

Nearly a decade later, the wing moved to Taiwan to fly 

passengers and cargo throughout the Pacific as well as 

combat airlift in Southeast Asia. While there, the wing 


earned the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with a 

combat “V” device in recognition of “airlifting an average 

of 7.9 tons of passengers and cargo for each operational 

flying hour in Southeast Asia, in addition to performing a 

wide variety of tactical airlift missions under extremely 

difficult and hazardous conditions.” 

In 1971, the 314th transferred to Little Rock AFB, 

serving as the primary C-130 training unit for all 

Department of Defense agencies and aircrew members 

from selected foreign nations. 

The wing also served for a time as the principal unit for 

worldwide tactical airlift operations. During the ’70s and 

’80s, the wing conducted regular European rotations, 

providing the commanders of the U.S. Air Forces Europe 

with a flexible theater airlift capability. The wing remained 

prepared for typical war scenarios in Europe and Korea, 

while also flying many humanitarian relief operations in 

Africa and elsewhere. Additionally, the wing flew missions 

in Central America in support of American foreign policy. 

More than 1,000 personnel and 16 aircraft deployed to 

the Persian Gulf a mere five days after Iraq invaded 

Kuwait. By the time the wing redeployed to Little Rock the 

following year, it had transported more than 27,000 

passengers and 25,000 tons of cargo. 

In the end, the men and women of the 314th can cite 

contributions in such operations as Urgent Fury, Just 

Cause, Provide Comfort/Restore Hope, Northern Watch, 

Southern Watch, Uphold Democracy and Joint Endeavor 

— just to name a few. 

Since activation in 1948, the 314th has served under 

numerous Major Commands, operated various types of 

aircraft and accomplished a wide array of missions. Since 

aligning under AETC in 1997, the wing has focused 

squarely on training the world’s best combat airlifters. 

314th Operations Group 

The 314th Operations Group is a united team of 

diverse professionals providing the best training, airpower 

support and functional expertise for the 314th Airlift Wing 

mission through personal commitment to excellence. The 

group’s mission is to train world-class, combat-capable

Who we are 

The Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing 

is located on Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., and is 

aligned in the standard combat wing organization with 

the 189th AW headquarters staff, 189th Operations 

Group, 189th Maintenance Group, 189th Mission 

Support Group and the 189th Medical Group. 

In addition, the wing provides support to four 

geographically separated units: the 123rd Intelligence 

Squadron and the 154th Weather Flight on Little 

Rock AFB, and the Arkansas Air National Guard 

headquarters and the National Guard Marksmanship 

Training Center at Camp Joseph T. Robinson in North 

Little Rock, Ark. 


Mission 

The formal training mission of the 189th Airlift Wing is to 

train and qualify C-130 aircrew instructor candidates to 

become instructors in their respective crew positions. The 

189th is also the lead unit in the C-130 Avionics 

Modernization Program. The wing is currently training the 

C-130 AMP initial cadre, both aircrew and maintenance, 

who have been tasked to conduct the initial operational 

test and evaluation of the modernized C-130 AMP 

platform in fiscal year 12. By FY 14, the 189th AW will be 

simultaneously operating the C-130 Instructor Flight 

Training Unit and the C-130 AMP FTU. The 189th AW is 

designated as the lead unit in the Air Reserve Component 

C-130 FTU Association in which the ANG will partner with 

the AF Reserve Command to assume responsibility for all 

legacy (non-J-model) C-130 training beginning in FY 14. 

The 189th AW operates the Air National Guard Enlisted 

Aircrew Academic School. This school provides entrylevel 

technical training to international and Marine Corps 

enlisted members destined to become flight engineers 

and loadmasters. In addition to the AETC formal training 

mission, 400 members of the 189th AW are identified for 

deployments in Air Expeditionary Force taskings. The 

wing manages the personnel deployment readiness of 

these identified individuals to ensure appropriate 

response capability to federal taskings. The 189th AW also 

maintains three 50-person rapid augmentation teams with 

one team on call 365 days a year to respond to natural 

disasters or domestic emergencies requiring military 

support for civil authorities.

The 154th OS was ordered to active duty in 1940 and 

saw action during World War II in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, 

France and England. It was redesignated the 154th 

Fighter Squadron on its return to inactive status after the 

war. The squadron was again ordered to active duty in 

October 1950 for the Korean conflict, flying combat 

missions from Itazuke Air Base, Japan, and Taegu, Korea, 

as part of the 136th Fighter Group. The squadron 

returned to inactive status in the spring of 1952 and was 

redesignated the 154th Tactical Reconnaissance 

Squadron. The squadron moved from Adams Field to 

Little Rock Air Force Base in September 1962 and 

reorganized as the 189th Tactical Reconnaissance Group 

one month later, when elements of the 123rd Air Base 

Group were added. 

In June 1965, the group became the first ANG 

organization to be equipped with RF-101 aircraft. As a 

result of the Pueblo Crisis, the 189th was recalled to 

active duty in January 1968. In July of that year, the 154th 

Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (augmented) 

deployed from Little Rock AFB to Itazuke, Japan. In 

December, the squadron was released from active duty 

and returned to inactive status at Little Rock AFB and 

assumed the RF-101 Replacement Training Unit mission 

from the active Air Force. 

On Jan. 1, 1976, the unit was designated as the 189th 

Air Refueling Group and converted to a KC-135 air-to-air 

refueling mission, becoming one of the first ANG units 

to be assigned to the Strategic Air Command as a 

gaining command. 

As an integral part of SAC under “Total Force,” the 

189th ARG maintained an around-the-clock Alpha Alert, 

participated in European, Alaskan and Pacific Tanker Task 

Forces, and supported worldwide temporary tanker task 

forces performing in-flight refueling of all types of aircraft 

as assigned by SAC. 

On Oct. 1, 1986, the unit was redesignated as the 

189th Tactical Airlift Group and converted to the C-130 

aircraft. The mission squadron was redesignated as the 

154th Tactical Airlift Training Squadron and assumed a 

proportionate share of initial aircrew qualification training 

from the 314th Tactical Airlift Wing. Student training 

actually began Sept. 25, 1986. 


During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 

135 members were activated and served in both stateside 

and overseas locations. Aircrews from the 189th flew 123 

mission sorties in support of the two operations without 

affecting the unit’s day-to-day aircrew training mission. 

The 154th Training Squadron is one of the most highly 

decorated ANG units in the nation, boasting 16 battle 

streamers on the wing organizational flag. 

On April 16, 1992, the 189th Tactical Airlift Group was 

officially redesignated as the 189th Airlift Group, and the 

154th Tactical Airlift Training Squadron was redesignated 

as the 154th Training Squadron. On Oct. 1, 1995, the 

189th Airlift Group was designated as the 189th AW. 

The 189th AW was the first ANG unit in the country to 

be located on an active-duty Air Force base flying the 

same type aircraft as its active-duty counterpart, and 

performing the same day-to-day mission. 

The 189th AW has also played a role in current 

operations since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. 

The wing sent 30 volunteers to perform state active duty 

at Little Rock National Airport for the airport security 

mission, beginning Oct. 4, 2001, and ending May 31, 

2002; then, on Oct. 16, 2001, the wing’s entire security 

forces squadron was mobilized for two years. Security 

forces members spent time at multiple overseas locations 

and two stateside locations, providing air base ground 

defense. 

Since 9/11, the wing has met the demand of 1,378 

taskings in support of the Global War on Terror. The wing 

also played a vital role in the aftermath of Hurricanes 

Katrina and Rita that struck the Alabama-Mississippi- 

Louisiana-Texas Gulf Coast region in fall 2005. Nearly 200 

members deployed to the New Orleans area on 30-day 

tours over a four-month period to assist with clean-up 

efforts, to keep the peace and help restore order. Wing 

aircrews flew 29 missions, hauling 1,600 people and 102 

tons of cargo to and from the region. According to 

National Guard Bureau statistics, the wing ranked third in 

the nation among Air Guard wings that hauled 

passengers and cargo to support hurricane relief efforts. 

In February 2008, 189th AW members were called to 

provide security assistance to areas in and around 

Clinton, Ark., after tornadoes ravaged the area. In January 

2009, 50 wing members were placed on a week of state 

active duty to help clear roads in Fulton County, Ark., after 

ice storms struck northern Arkansas. 

The 189th AW flew 5,100 accident free flying hours, 

trained 524 students in flying and non-flying syllabi, and 

deployed 84 personnel to eight locations in support of 

OEF/OIF in FY 10. 

During 2010 the 189th AW transitioned from the C- 

130E to the C-130H aircraft in preparation for all C-130Emodel 

aircraft to be retired from the Air Force inventory. 

This transition brings enhanced airlift capability to the 

State of Arkansas and prepares the Wing to transition to 

their new role as the FTU for the C-130 AMP aircraft. The 

189th is the lead unit for the AMP transition and is the only 

ANG unit to have crews qualified in this new cockpit 

modification. These AMP-qualified crews participated in 

the Design Testing and Evaluation program as the first 

major flying milestone to proving the capability of the new 

AMP modification and working toward certification of the 

new design. Despite this undertaking, the 189th 

continued to be the DoD sole source provider of C-130 

Instructor Training in all crew positions. 

The 189th AW Rapid Augmentation Team Bravo 

deployed May 1, 2010, with 39 personnel to Saline 

County, Ark., in response to tornado damage. The team 

was deployed in less than three hours and quickly set up 

to support the community and local authorities. RAT 

Bravo is one of three 50-person teams composed of drillstatus 

Guardsmen. It’s a volunteer force the wing 

developed to respond more efficiently to state natural 

disasters. 

In 2011, 15 Airmen from the Arkansas Air National 

Guard’s 189th AW RAT Charlie deployed to help 

motorists in emergency situations on Central Arkansas 

interstates. The team assisted local authorities by 

patrolling the highways and went into action helping 23 

people and checking on 62 total people and more than 

100 vehicles. Three teams of two members each worked 

around the clock, ensuring that motorists along I-40, I- 

430 and I-630 were safe and had necessary provisions. 

Sixty-seven Airmen from the 189th AW RAT Charlie 

deployed April 26, 2011, to Vilonia in Faulkner County to 

help residents recover from tornado damage. They 

cleared debris from the roads. The team provided 

security and patrolled the roads throughout Vilonia, 

while also providing search and rescue. 

Out of 88 Guard wings, the 189th AW safety office 

was named the best safety office in the ANG for its 2010 

performance. 

During the 2011 flooding in several southeast 

Arkansas counties, 189th personnel supported the 

response alongside the unit’s emergency management 

mobile emergency operations center that was used to 

provide communications and a field operational 

headquarters for Army National Guard troops during the 

levee monitoring mission. The wing members were 

presented with individual keys to the city from the mayor 

of Lake Village for their support during this mission. 

22nd Air Force/Detachment 1 

The 22nd Air Force/Detachment 1 is one of the 

newest and fastest-growing units at Little Rock AFB, and 

in the Air Force Reserve. Det 1 is made up of more than 

300 traditional reservist, full-time military and 

Department of Defense civilians who are building it into 

the best unit in the Air Force Reserve. Det 1 primarily 

employs the C-130H model. 

The unit’s mission statement is to grow as a Formal 

Training Unit, and partner with the Air National Guard 

and the active-duty Air Force to provide basic Air Crew 

training to the Unites States’ total force, and 42 joint 

partner nations. 

Det 1 began in March 2011 with just two personnel, 

the commander and a personnel specialist. As of 

September 2012, the unit has grown to more than 300 

personnel, 10 aircraft and six major sections:

Living Quarters 

The first stop in finding a place to live for anyone 

moving to Little Rock AFB is the military Housing 

Referral Office at 538 Thomas Ave. (two blocks away 

from the Fitness Center). The Housing Referral Office 

also operates out of The Welcome Center at 101 

Arkansas Blvd. (in the base housing area). In addition to 

helping you find a home, the Housing Referral Office has 

a number of handouts for newcomers that include 

phonebooks, maps, utility company information and 

public school information. 

Housing options in and around Little Rock AFB are 

many, varied and for the most part, very affordable. 

There is plenty of family housing on base. The off-base 

rental market ranges from small apartments to very 

large multistory homes, and there are normally plenty of 

new and pre-owned homes for sale. 

Because you will likely be here for a few years, consider 

all possible options and choose carefully the one 

that is best for you. The Air Force has moved you to 

Little Rock AFB and will move you to your next duty station 

when you leave here, but it won’t pay to move you 

from neighborhood to neighborhood in the local area 

while you are here. The one exception to this rule is if 

you are placed on a waiting list for on-base housing, 

which requires you to rent a place in the local community 

prior to moving on base. 

Dormitories 

Single Airmen in pay grades E-1 through E-4 with less 

than three years of service are required to report to the 

Consolidated Dorms Management Office in Building 723 

upon arrival. As dorm space is at a premium, your rank 

and date of rank determine whether you will be assigned 

a room in your squadron’s dorm, or sent to the military 

housing referral office to investigate the possibility of 

living in on-base family housing in an unaccompanied 

status or finding a place to live off base. As a general 

28 Little Rock AFB Housing 

(U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Ethan Morgan) 

rule, any E-1 through E-4 with less than three years of 

service will be assigned a dorm room. 

The dorms are centrally located on base and within 

easy walking distance of the BX, commissary, chapel 

and other recreational facilities. 

With one exception, all of the dorms are essentially 

the same. They are equipped with a private room with a 

shared bath. Furniture in the room will include a full-size 

(double) bed, a dresser, an armoire suitable for holding 

a television, and a chair. Residents can also request a 

desk and a recliner. Telephone and cable television service 

are available in the rooms should a resident elect to 

subscribe and pay for either service. 

One dorm, Bldg. 846, is designed with pods of six 

rooms, each with a private bath, sharing a common 

kitchen and living room area. Each dorm has a dayroom 

with pool tables, a sofa, a large-screen television and a 

DVD player, among other amenities. Each dormitory 

floor has a shared kitchen space with appliances and 

utensils. Washers and driers are also available. 

The dining facility serving all the dorms is the 

Hercules Dining Facility, located a couple of minutes’ 

walking distance from them all. 

The dining facility operates on the following schedule: 

Monday through Friday: 

Breakfast: 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

Saturday – Sunday 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

Midnight Meal: Monday through Friday: 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. 

Saturday – Sunday 11 p.m. to midnight 

Dorm residents who advance in rank and/or time in 

service may be authorized and/or asked to move out of 

the dorm into family housing or the local community to 

make way for more junior Airmen being assigned to Little 

Rock AFB. Determining who gets to move out of the 

dorms is done exclusively by rank and time in service. 


On-Base Housing 

The Landings at Little Rock staff manages the leasing 

and maintenance of the 1,000 family housing units located 

on Little Rock AFB. The types of units available on 

base range from half of a two-bedroom duplex to fourbedroom 

single-family homes. These houses, complete 

with all utilities except the telephone and cable TV services 

you have to pay for, can be had for the cost of your 

monthly BAH. There is no waiting for housing. Units are 

currently available for all pay grades. 

Most of the family housing units date to when the base 

was built in the 1950s, though they have all been upgraded 

from time to time. All base housing is either new or 

completely renovated. 

Single Airmen transferring from the dorms will be 

charged BAH for family housing at the single rate. You 

can save even more if you team up with a roommate. 

You'll be charged BAH at the with-dependent rate of the 

highest ranking member, but you’ll split the rent, so each 

of you will put a little extra tax-free cash in your pocket. 

If you decide to move into family housing, which is 

called The Landings at Little Rock, or at least want to 

investigate what is available, the military housing referral 

office staff will direct you to The Landings’ Welcome 

Center at 101 Arkansas Blvd. in the family housing area. 

The Landings at Little Rock staff runs the family housing 

units for the Air Force and is responsible for maintenance, 

renovations and placing personnel in the various housing 

units. 

At the Welcome Center, The Landings leasing team 

will help you find a home that meets the needs of your 

family within your pay grade and entitlement. Once you 

have selected your home, the paperwork is completed, 

which includes filling out an allotment form and signing a 

lease. The allotment will be in the amount of your BAH, 

which is the only money you must put up to secure a family 

housing unit. There are no deposits or extra months of 

rent to be paid in advance. Paperwork complete, you may 

even be able to move in that same day. If you’re in a real 

hurry to find a place to live, family housing can often 

accommodate you almost instantly. 

Check Little Rock AFB family housing availability in 

advance at www.littlerock.pinnaclefamilyhousing.com. 


Off-Base Housing 

There are literally hundreds of rental units for every 

budget and in almost any size imaginable within easy 

commuting distance of Little Rock AFB. If renting is your 

goal, you can even search ahead of time by going to 

www.ahrn.com, a single site for military members to 

research housing options at bases all over the world. If 

you haven’t done so before arriving at the housing office, 

the military Housing Referral Office staff will be more than 

happy to show you your options. 

Typically, renters will be required to pay the first and 

last month’s rent and perhaps a security deposit before 

being allowed to move in. This can vary somewhat 

depending on your credit rating — the lower your credit 

rating, the higher the deposit is likely to be. Other factors 

such as whether or not you have pets will factor into what 

security deposit is charged. Security deposits and any 

overpayment of rent are generally refunded if you leave 

the rental in as good or better shape than it was when you 

moved in. 

In the fall of 2011, typical rates for rental housing 

in the Little Rock AFB area were: 

1 bedroom/1 bath apartment: $400 to $700 per month 



2 bedroom/1 bath house or duplex: $400 to $700 per month 

3 bedroom/2 bath house: $700 to $1,400 per month 

4 bedroom or larger house: $1,400 to $2,400 per month 

You can certainly spend more, if you wish, and you 

can possibly find something even cheaper, but these 

numbers are a good average of what is available. The 

other option renters have is urban/rural housing. You 

can live in Little Rock itself, Arkansas’ largest city, located 

about 15 miles from the base, or you can live in the 

country. Rental units with acreage are available. If you 

wish to rent, you will find plenty of options. 

Buying a Home 

As with rentals, the options are many and varied, and 

central Arkansas is not a high-priced housing market. Your 

BAH will likely make the payments on a much nicer house 

than it is possible to purchase near bases in other parts of 

the country. You must have a regular income and good job 

security — being in the Air Force takes care of that — and 

your credit rating must be solid. 

Again, the housing office on base is the place to start if 

you’re thinking of buying a home. They can help you out 

with a list of real estate agents, for-sale listings online and 

in the local newspapers, 

and information about the 

various communities near 

the base.

Schools

School.Liaison@littlerock.af.mil 

If you have children, school choice will be a big 

concern for your family. All parents research schools 

and want to find the best fit for their children. Every 

state has different requirements for schools and Little 

Rock AFB has a school liaison officer available to individually 

assist you with any school questions. 

Little Rock AFB housing, Jacksonville and portions of 

Sherwood are part of Pulaski Special School District. 

Other school districts where military students attend are 

North Little Rock, Little Rock, Cabot, Vilonia and Beebe. 

There are transfers available across district lines, but 

specific criteria apply. Specialty magnet and charter 

schools are available to attend at no cost. Private and 

parochial schools are also in the base area. A new charter 

school, “Flightline Academy,” is offered at Little Rock 

Air Force Base for grades five through eight. 

Before you pick a place to live, investigate the 

schools and see if they are right for your children. Maps 

with specific streets are on the district websites, and it is 

very important before renting or purchasing a home that 

parents call the school district office with the exact 

address and verify the school assignment. If your family 

chooses to live on base, children living in certain sections 

of base housing will attend either Arnold Drive 

Elementary or Tolleson Elementary, both part of Pulaski 

County Special School District. Here’s a list of most of 

the school districts in the area to help you get started:

Little Rock Air Force Base is in many respects a self-contained 

community centered on the mission of training C-130 aircrews 

and operating the aircraft on far-flung missions around the 

world. However, since no one can spend all of their time at work, 

there are many varied activities and facilities.

Family Childcare 


Phone: (501) 987-3156 

FCC Hours: 

Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. 

Want a chance to meet new friends and run your own 

business? Licensed providers are needed in base 

housing. Training is free and includes CPR/first aid, 

nutrition, child abuse prevention, child development, 

diversity, record keeping and much more. A resource 

center is available to all licensed providers free of 

charge. Anyone providing child care on a regular 

basis or more than 10 hours a week in base housing 

must be licensed. 

Dependents of active-duty members residing off 

base can be licensed. You must first be licensed with 

the State of Arkansas and complete the FCC 

certification training and process. As an affiliated 



licensed provider with the Little Rock AFB Family Child 

Care Program, you have access to a large resource 

center, child development training, USDA food program 

and much more. 

Other available program services consist of 

expanded child care, including Extended Duty Child 

Care, Child Care for Volunteers, Returning Home Family 

Child Care, Home Community Care & Subsidy and 

Child Care for PCS. Please see below or call the FCC 

office for further information on each of these programs. 

Extended Duty Childcare 

The purpose of the Extended Duty Care Program is to 

assist families in obtaining high-quality child care from 

licensed or affiliated providers at or near the base when 

weekly parental workloads, due to extended duty 

hours, exceed the 50 hours of care that families are 

already purchasing in child care programs on or off 

base. Families should establish a plan to meet all their 

child care needs, e.g., short-term TDYs, shift-work care 

where shift work is typical, etc. The EDC program 

should be considered the “back-up plan.” This 

program is on a first-come, first-served basis. To be 

eligible for this program, at least one parent must be a 

member of the U.S. military: active duty, reserve or 

guard member in activated status; dual employed 

(military married to civilian) or DoD civilian employee 

(single or dual employed) assigned to or working on 

the installation. Being provided care is a privilege, not a 

right, and the Family Child Care program will retain final 

approval authority on whether or not a child is accepted 

for care. 

• First priority is given to parents whose children 

are currently enrolled in the Air Force Child 

Development, School-Age and/or FCC programs. 

• Parents must complete all appropriate forms 

including Air Force Forms 1181, 357 (if applicable) 

and 1055 (if applicable). 

Extended Duty Care Used for: 

• On-base mission-related duty 

• Extended duty days 

• Temporary shift changes (not to exceed three days 

for each occurrence) 

• Rapid mobilization 

• Dual military or single parent deployment until 

alternate child care can be arranged or children are 

picked up by AF Form 357 designee (not to exceed

community. This program is not meant to pay for child 

care for volunteers in resale (Thrift Shop), fundraising or

For volunteer information or to see if you qualify for 

the free child care, contact the Airman and Family

The Returning Home Child Care program provides

period is available to those active-duty

members returning to their home stations after 

deployments of a minimum of 30 calendar days, or 

to personnel who routinely deploy on a short-term 

basis (cumulative of 30 days in a six-month period) 

in support of contingency operations, and members 

for a two-week rest-and-relaxation leave. Care for 

the RHC Program is provided by an EDC FCC 

home. The 16 hours are to be used within six 

months of returning to their home station. 

For more information, call (501) 987-3156. 

Childcare for PCS 

The Child Care for PCS Program is intended to help 

relieve some of the stress felt by families in the process of 

a PCS move. The Air Force Aid Society will pay for up to 

20 hours of child care per child in licensed FCC homes, 

based on availability, on base or in Air Force affiliated 

homes off base. Air Force Families with PCS orders can 

obtain a Child Care for PCS certificate at the base 

relocation office in the Airman and Family Readiness 

Center. Families can receive a certificate at both the base 

from which they are departing and at their new base. 

Certificates are good only at the base at which they are 

issued; unused hours do not transfer from one base to 

another. Families may use the 20 hours of child care 

within 60 days before the family's departure from a base, 

and 60 days after arriving at the new base. This program 

is open to all ranks unless there is a shortage of child care 

providers at the base, in which case priority would be 

given to junior ranking personnel.

E-mail: School.Liaison@littlerock.af.mil 

If you have children, schools will be a big concern for 

your family. All parents research schools and desire to 

find the best fit for their children. Every state has different 

requirements for schools and LRAFB has a School 

Liaison Officer available to individually assist you with any 

school questions. 

School districts where military 

students attend are Pulaski County, 

North Little Rock, Cabot, Vilonia, 

Beebe and Little Rock. Specialty 

magnet and charter schools are

Airman & Family Readiness Center 

Bldg. 668 • (501) 987-6801 

Hours of Operation: 


A&FRC is your home away from home! We are here for 

you and your family to assist you with most of your 

needs during your transition. We do it all: Just ask us — 

and if we don’t, we know where to send you. We at the 

A&FRC are here to serve the whole family. 

The A&FRC mission is to offer services that provide 

information, improve skills and offer short-term support 

and assistance that will help military and DoD civilian 

members and their families deal with the competing 

demands of the military mission and their family 

responsibilities. 


Information and Referral 

An A&FRC consultant can assist you with coordination 

of local activities and provide a data bank of referable 

agencies. 

Family Life Center 

There is a strong correlation between a military member's 

ability to accomplish the mission successfully and the 

quality of his or her family experience. Because of this, 

A&FRC offers activities to promote a healthy family life. 

We also have informational books and printed 

material on a variety of topics regarding family life issues. 

The Transition Assistance Program 

The Transition Assistance Program includes an extensive 

array of services and benefits designed to equip service 

members with the basic job-hunting skills, tools and selfconfidence 

necessary to secure successful employment 

in the civilian sector. The program consists of two major 

components: the mandatory pre-separation benefits brief 

and the three-day TAP workshop. 

Pre-separation Counseling 

This is congressionally mandated for all separating 

or retiring military members. All members separating 

with more than 180 days of continuous active-duty 

service must receive a DD Form 2648, Pre-separation 

Counseling, before participation in any other transition 

activities. Pre-separation classes cover employment; 

relocation; education and training assistance; health 

and life insurance; finances; reserve/guard affiliation; 

veterans’ benefits; effects of career change; and 

assistance in developing an individual transition plan to 

meet your education, training, and/or employment 

objectives. Spouses are strongly encouraged to attend. 

Employment Focus 

Employment Focus supports family members seeking 

employment. Classes and information available include 

employment focus, resume writing classes and career 

information concerning federal employment. A&FRC 

consultants offer the AF military member and family 

members the advantage of numerous job-hunting skills 

such as interviewing, resume writing and points of 

contact. For more information please contact the A&FRC 

at (501) 987-6801. 

Discovery Center 

The Discovery Center is the A&FRC’s one-stop shop to 

assist military ID card holders and their families with the 

latest techniques on computers, resume/cover letter 

writing and reviews, job searches and more. The 

Discovery Center also provides educational information 

and check-out material for a variety of needs.

Readiness 

Mandatory pre-deployment briefings are offered every 

Wednesday for any active-duty member who will be 

deployed or TDY 30 days or longer. Attendance is 

mandatory for active-duty service members. Spouses and 

family members are welcome to attend. 

Pre-deployment is held at 9 a.m. Contact the 

A&FRC at (501) 987-6801. 

Air Force members must maintain a continuous state 

of readiness. Being prepared to carry out the mission is 

everyone’s responsibility. It takes time and great effort to 

ensure that an Airman is prepared to carry out his or her 

military commitment and family obligations as well. At the 

A&FRC, we try to offset some of the stressors that may 

occur during separation due to a deployment or remote 

assignment. Regardless of a member’s status, the 

information and programs offered through our services 

can better prepare you for those situations. 

Support Services 

Deployment/remote assignments can be especially 

difficult for family members left behind. The A&FRC offers 

a variety of support programs and resources to help 

offset some of the stressors that families may encounter 

during separation. Morale calls, free oil change and child 

care vouchers, video phone links, emergency relief 

assistance and a resource room are just a few of the 

services available. Contact A&FRC for details. 

Post Deployment Support 

Although separation is often stressful and emotionally 

challenging, reintegration and reunion can be just 

as challenging. The A&FRC offers information and 

referral services to aid members and their families 

deal with the strains and stresses of reintegration and 

reunion … transitioning back to as joyful and stress-free 

lifestyle as possible. 

Personal Financial Readiness 

The Personal Financial Readiness consultant affords 

Air Force family members the opportunity to take 

advantage of financial management consultation if the 

need arises. The consultant also offers a variety of 

workshops that enhance the member’s knowledge of 

budgeting, investments and other programs to build 

toward a strong financial foundation.

The Air Force Aid Society is an internal financial support 

program funded by AF members for AF members. It 

assists members with emergency loans for travel home in 

the event of a family death, emergency car care, calling 

cards distributed by A&FRC and Bundles for Baby 

(blankets, sheets, diapers, first-year book). The AFAS can 

offer assistance as a loan or grant, if the matter so 

warrants, per the discretion of the AFAS Headquarters. 

AFAS also sponsors community enhancement programs 

such as car care certificates and free childcare.

The purpose of the Retiree Activities Office at Little 

Rock AFB is to assist retirees of all services with 

whatever their needs might be. It applies to retirees, 

their family members and their surviving spouses. The

Your assignment to Little Rock Air Force Base 

brings one overwhelming added bonus … Arkansas. 

You’ll be living in the most supportive community in the 

Air Force; the base community council is the 2010 winner 

of the highly coveted Abilene Trophy, the Air Mobility 

Command’s Community Support Award. In addition, the 

base is almost exactly in the center of a state that is filled 

with wonderful scenery, outdoor adventure, culture, 

history and some of the friendliest folks you’re likely to 

meet anywhere. It just doesn’t get any better than this. 

Consider just a few things you can do on a Saturday, 

or on a long weekend. Hot Springs National Park and the 

city by the same name are less than two hours away.

Located in North Little Rock, the Old Mill address 

is Lakeshore Drive & Fairway Avenue. The mill is 

famous for its cinematic debut in “Gone With the 

Wind.” The Old Mill is a replica of grist mills that 

were so vital to early Arkansans. 

you can imagine is just beyond the state line, about a 

three-hour drive to the northwest. Along the way, the 

beauty of the Ozark Mountains will keep the kids and your 

other passengers enthralled as you drive. Try visiting 

Branson in November for a taste of what the locals call an 

“Ozark Mountain Christmas.” 

Do you like to fish? The world record brown trout came 

out of Arkansas’ Little Red River. It pushed into second 

place the previous record from the North Fork River. We’re 

talking about trout in the 35-pound range. If that’s not 

enough, how about bass, including several major 

tournaments with big-money prizes, land-locked stripers 

up to 40 pounds, catfish, brook trout, rainbows and 


panfish. Almost any body of water you’re likely to come 

across offers the opportunity for catching your supper. 

And fishing season in Arkansas never closes; it’s open 

every day of the year. 

Golfers will find dozens of courses within a short radius 

to test every skill level. 

Shoppers can chose from base facilities or almost 

every major chain store in the United States within a few 

minutes of the main gate. Besides the national chains, 

there are plenty of privately owned antique stores to 

explore in each community. 

We all work hard in the Air Force, but when you have 

free time in the evenings or on weekends, Arkansas can 

offer just about anything for anyone from the youngest 

child to the oldest grandparent. Get out and enjoy some 

of the best our country has to offer. 

Jacksonville 

The city website describes Jacksonville, Ark., just 

outside the front gate of Little Rock AFB, as a “… warm 

and friendly community.” It is all that and more. The city 

is particularly proud of the fact that since 1955, the Air 

Force Base has been part of the fabric of everyday life 

in Jacksonville. The warm relationship between 

Jacksonville and the base dates back to the early 

1950s when the local citizens banded together to 

purchase the land for the base. 

Perhaps the best part about Jacksonville is that it 

offers all of the advantages of living in a small town with 

easy access to all of the culture and excitement of a 

large city just 15 miles away. Jacksonville is truly the 

one place in Arkansas where you can enjoy the best of 

both worlds. 

The Jacksonville Military History Museum spans the 

town’s military history from the Civil War to 

Vietnam. Housed in the old Arkansas Ordnance Plant 

Administration Building, it includes such items as a 

Christmas card signed by Adolph Hitler and over 100 

propaganda posters from both World Wars. 

A marker highlighting the Battle of Reed’s Bridge 

on Arkansas 161 tells of the skirmish that was fought 

during the 1863 Little Rock Campaign as Union 

soldiers attempted to move south, while Confederate 

troops tried to protect the Capitol. The battlefield, 

which is being developed into a city park, is listed on 

the National Register of Historic Places. The Little 

Rock Campaign route is a part of the Arkansas 

Heritage Trails System. For more information, visit

LITTLE ROCK 2013 AFB GUIDE Local Area Outside the Gate 49

Head to the River Market District along the Arkansas 

River. Within a few short blocks, you’ll find restaurants, 

shops, museums, the Clinton Presidential Library, the 

Central Arkansas Nature Center and Heifer Village. 

The Clinton Presidential Library is located at the 

eastern end of President Clinton Avenue. You’ll get a 

feel for the White House in the authentic replicas of the 

Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. There are a variety 

of acclaimed visiting exhibits, such as original Dr. Seuss 

art, a rare collection of Elvis photos, Peter Max Paints 

America and Play Ball! The St. Louis Cardinals. A 

monthly schedule of nationally known speakers adds to 

the allure. 

You’ll notice the Presidential Park Wetlands on the 

banks of the river. The 13 acres provide unprecedented 

public access via an elevated boardwalk and two 

bridges to conservation, environmental and wildlife 

watching opportunities. Also located there is the Clinton 

Presidential Park Bridge, an old Rock Island bridge 

converted into a pedestrian and cycling walkway, which 

crosses the Arkansas River to connect Little Rock and 

North Little Rock. 

Next door to the Clinton Center is the headquarters 

of Heifer International, a LEED-Certified building. 

In Heifer Village, learn about Heifer’s sustainability 

efforts to protect Little Rock’s environment and how 

the organization is working to end world hunger and 

poverty. 

While shopping in the River Market district, stop to 

admire Art Along the River, a series of outdoor sculptures 

decorating the area. Drop in at the Central Arkansas 

Nature Center to explore wildlife and nature available 

within an urban area. Portions of the Arkansas River Trail 

cross the grounds. Right next door is the reinvented 

Museum of Discovery. It’s not just for kids anymore, as 

new interactive exhibits make it fun for all ages.

La Petite Roche Plaza is a beautifully landscaped 

park highlighting the little rock that gave the capital city 

its name. Interpretive signs explain the significance of 

the area, located at the foot of the Junction Bridge 

Pedestrian Walkway. Another old railroad bridge, the 

structure spans the Arkansas River affording gorgeous 

views of the surrounding terrain and is popular with 

bicyclists as well. 

Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit so you can cool 

off in Peabody Park, behind The Peabody Little Rock. 

The watery playground was designed from suggestions 

made by area children. 

The majestic Old State House will definitely catch your 

eye as you’re strolling through the River Market district. 

The stunning Greek Revival structure served as 

Arkansas’s first capitol building and is now a museum 

of Arkansas history.

For those with small children, a visit to the Peabody 

Hotel in downtown Little Rock for the daily Duck March 

is a must. It’s free, twice daily. At 11 a.m., the 

Duckmaster leads five mallards from their pens into a 

glass elevator for the trip down to the lobby. Standing in 

the lobby, you can watch the ducks peering out of the 

glass-sided elevator as they descend. On the ground 

floor, as the King Cotton March by John Phillip Sousa 

plays over the loudspeaker, the Duckmaster leads his 

unleashed charges along a red carpet and up a few 

steps and into the lobby’s 

fountain. 

At 5 p.m., the process 

is reversed as the ducks 

are taken back to their 

pens. If your child is 

having a birthday or some 

other special event, tell the 

folks at the Peabody and 

perhaps he or she can be 

appointed an honorary 

Duckmaster and assist in 

marching the ducks into or 

out of the fountain. 

After enjoying the Duck 

March, set out on foot 

along the south bank of the 

Arkansas River behind the 

hotel to explore the Little 

Rock River Market area. 

Walking paths, parks, 

museums and all manner 

of shops and restaurants 

are yours to discover. 

Much of Arkansas’ history 

happened along the river. 

Here you’ll find the little 

rock at the water’s edge for 

which the town is named.

Little Rock 

French explorers used the little rock on the shoreline 

(la petite roche) as a navigational checkpoint in the 18th 

century, and eventually the town that took root here 

became known as Little Rock. 

The city itself boasts a number of historical buildings 

and sites, including the birthplace of General of the 

Army Douglas MacArthur, born here in 1880 while his 

father, Maj. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, was assigned to Little 

Rock, which was then essentially a frontier posting. The 

MacArthur home is now a museum. 

On the east side of downtown 

Little Rock is the William J. Clinton 

Presidential Library. 

Admission is free for military personnel. 


North Little Rock 

Across the river from Little Rock is North Little Rock, which itself boasts a 

splendid walking path along the river and a setting that is more parklike than 

commercial. An evening stroll along the river in North Little Rock as the sun 

sets and bathes Little Rock itself in a warm glow should not be missed. Linger 

as darkness falls and the lights come on in the hotels and office buildings 

across the river. The different colored lights reflected in the waters of the river 

can be awesome. 

Dickey-Stevens Park, home to the 

Arkansas Travelers, the AA affiliate of the Los 

Angeles Angels, is visible from the North 

Little Rock river walk and offers professional 

baseball games at an affordable price. There 

are military discounts available for what are 

already low ticket prices. 

Another treat in North Little Rock is the 

Old Grist Mill, also known more simply as the 

Old Mill, one of the locations featured in the 

blockbuster movie from the 1930s, “Gone 

With the Wind.” The azaleas in particular, but 

other flowers on the grounds as well, make 

for spectacular pictures in the spring. This is 

a very picturesque setting.

Location, location, location… 

Little Rock and North Little Rock combined provide 

most of the population for the region of Arkansas known 

as the Greater Little Rock area, a figure closing in on 

600,000 people. But the numbers are deceiving. A few 

minutes on relatively uncrowded highways (Interstates 30 

and 40 are the major routes), get you swiftly away from the 

people and into the great outdoors that is most of 


Arkansas. An assignment to Little Rock AFB offers the 

best of both worlds. You’re close to a thriving metropolitan 

area, yet fresh air and adventure are just a short distance 

away. There is much to be said for both.

Ramble on down the Great

Delta to experience the places 

that nurtured legends of country, 

rock and blues. Enjoy authentic 

down-home foods, historic 

plantations and exciting gaming 

along the way. 

Devil’s Den State Park is nestled in a picturesque 

valley in northwest Arkansas’ Ozarks. Hiking and 

backpacking trails access backcountry areas of the 

park and the surrounding Ozark National Forest. 

The much-celebrated Crystal Bridges Museum of 

American Art is open in Bentonville, along with many 

other sights and sounds to delight your senses. Founded 

by Alice Walton, the daughter of Walmart founder Sam 

Walton, the museum offers free admission and many 

special exhibits, some specifically geared to kids. With 

glorious outdoor trails to explore, as well as the indoor 

collection of art, it’s easy to spend an entire day here.

Arkansas State Parks 

With more than a little justification, Arkansas 

describes itself as “The Natural State.” Bolstering that 

claim is a system of 51 state parks — with a 52nd park 

under construction — celebrating the outdoors, the 

heritage and the history of the state. 

Whether you want a picnic with the chance to capture 

an afternoon breeze to fly a kite, fishing, water skiing, 

hiking, climbing mountains, exploring Indian mounds, 

reliving Civil War battles or much more, there is 

something in the Arkansas state park system that fits 

your needs. 

Close to Little Rock, for example, is Pinnacle 

Mountain State Park, about a half-hour drive west of the 

city. This is a day-use-only park with picnic areas, a 

wonderful field of grass just made for flying kites, and 

several short trails for hikes of up to two hours duration. 

Once you’re at its peak, it seems you can see the whole 

state of Arkansas. 

A bit farther west, about an hour and 15 minutes from 

Little Rock, is Petit Jean State Park, the first park brought 

into the state park system, which was created 75 years 

ago. There’s a lot of camping here, both with and without 

hookups, and some great trails. Be sure to take Red Bluff 

Drive, a gravel road running around the remote part of 

the park. A couple of overlooks along the route offer 

sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. As for 

hiking, head down into the canyon to get close to Cedar

Falls. This is a fairly rugged hike, and though it is not 

particularly far, you should allow a couple of hours. Cedar 

Falls, with good reason, is considered the centerpiece of 

the park. If the hike is not for you, you can look down on 

the falls from an overlook along Highway 154. 

If fishing is your goal, head for Bull Shoals-White River 

State Park up in the Ozark Mountains a couple hours 

north of Little Rock AFB. Bring your own boat to this 

45,440-acre reservoir, or rent one from the marina in the 

park. The park is located both above and below the dam, 

so you can fish either the lake or the river. This is one of 

those places that offers the chance to catch trophy 

rainbow and brown trout. 

History comes alive in two parks close to Little Rock 

and another a bit farther away; the Plantation Agriculture 

Museum and Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park 

near the city, and the Prairie Grove Battlefield in the 

northwest corner of the state. The first is dedicated to the 

cotton-growing culture of Arkansas; Toltec preserves and 

protects America’s tallest Indian mounds dating from 

A.D. 600 to 1050; and Prairie Grove marks the site of the 

last major Civil War engagement in northwestern 

Arkansas. The battle is re-enacted on its anniversary 

every year during the first weekend in December. 

Crater of Diamonds State Park 

Arkansas, The Natural State, is blessed with an 

abundance of geological wonders. Crater of 

Diamonds State Park, the only diamondproducing 

site in the world open to the 

public, stands out as a unique geological 

“gem” for you to explore and enjoy. 

Here, you are invited to prospect in the 

park’s diamond search area, a 37 1/2-acre 

plowed field that is the eroded surface of an 

ancient volcanic pipe. Some 95 million years 

ago, the pipe brought to the surface the 

diamonds and semiprecious stones that 

lucky visitors find here today. 

For more information, go to 

www.craterofdiamondsstatepark.com. 

To get a better feel for what 

awaits you in the Arkansas State 

Parks system, visit 

www.ArkansasStateParks.com, 

where you can check out the 

interactive state parks guide. 

This online booklet (also 

available in paper for free at 

most visitors’ centers) devotes 

at least a page to every state 

park in Arkansas and is filled 

with gorgeous pictures of The 

Natural State.

Hot Springs National Park 

Visit Hot Springs National Park and immerse 

yourself in excitement and legendary luxuries in this 

historic spa town — from Bathhouse Row to a theme 

and water park, woodland gardens and five great lakes. 

Stroll through the downtown district to experience 

Antique/Boutique Walk the third Friday evening of each 

month to find one-of-a-kind treasures, antiques, fine art, 

clothing, jewelry, specialty foods and unique gifts for 

the home and garden. 

Magic Springs Water and Theme Park is two parks 

combined into one. Families get more than 80 

attractions and the largest water park in the state. The 

only theme park located in a national park, Magic 

Springs offers thrill-seekers the X-Coaster, Plummet 

Summit, the Gauntlet, Crystal Lagoon, seven slides, 

Crystal Falls Wave Pool, Kodiak Canyon Lazy River and 

Bear Cub Bend for smaller children — all at one 

location. Each summer features a concert series of 

headliners that is not to be missed. 

Encompassing less than nine square miles, Hot 

Springs National Park is by far the smallest full-fledged 

park in the national park system, but it can be described 

as one of the oldest. The land was set aside by Congress 

in 1832 as the Hot Springs Reservation. The reservation 

was further designated a public park in 1880. The 

national park itself contains parts of downtown Hot 

Springs, Ark., easily accessible a few miles west of I-30 

in the southwestern part of the state, making it one of the 

easiest parks to visit in the nation. More than 1.2 million 

visitors come to the park each year.

Hiking trails, campgrounds and hotel/motel lodging 

to fit every budget are available either in the park, the 

town or the surrounding area. You’ll have to pay extra, 

though, to kick back in the soothing hot waters flowing 

from the Ouachita Mountains. Of the original street of 

bathhouses known as Bathhouse Row, only one, the 

Buckstaff, still operates as a bathhouse. Another, 

Fordyce Bathhouse, is the park’s visitor center. Now a 

National Historic Landmark for their Gilded Age 

architecture, the rest of the buildings along the Row are 

in various stages of interior reconstruction. Other more 

modern facilities are available to serve visitors. 

Hot Springs National Park is about 90 minutes from 

Little Rock AFB by vehicle and most of the drive is on 

I-30 West. Take exit 111. Reservations are a good idea 

on weekends and during the summer travel season.

Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism

If you love outdoor recreation in terms of fishing 

and hunting, it doesn’t get any better than Arkansas. 

Some 600,000 acres of lakes and more than 9,000 

miles of flowing rivers and streams hold something for 

just about every angler. Extensive public lands, 

including Ozark and Ouachita National Forest, provide 

a variety of opportunities for hunting. 

Military members are further benefited by the state 

of Arkansas in terms of hunting and fishing. Regardless 

of where you are from, if you are permanently stationed 

in Arkansas, you qualify for the necessary licenses at 

resident rates. Thus a fishing license with a trout permit 

will cost all of $15.50. A hunting license complete with 

four deer tags and four turkey tags is only $25. 

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission also 

makes it easy for you to determine where to go. Their 

website, www.agfc.com, is complete with interactive 

maps, up-to-the-minute fishing reports and much, 

much more. A few minutes or a few hours spent on this 

website will likely yield big dividends in terms of fish or 

wild game for the dinner table. Fishing season never 

closes; it is open year round. For a comprehensive list 

of hunting seasons broken down by species, go to 

www.agfc.com/hunting/huntingsummary.aspx. 

The only thing missing from this list will be waterfowl 

seasons, which are set by the federal government. Since 

Arkansas is highly regarded by duck and goose hunters 

the world over, it’s probably worth your time to check out: 

www.agfc.com/hunting/huntingseasons/ 

waterfowl-migratory-birds.aspx.

Arkansas State Seal: 

On the shield of our 

state seal are a steamboat, 

a plow, a beehive 

and a sheaf of wheat, 

symbols of Arkansas' 

industrial and agricultural 

wealth. The Angel of Mercy, the Sword of 

Justice and the Goddess of Liberty surround a 

bald eagle. The eagle holds in its beak a scroll 

inscribed with the Latin phrase "Regnat Populus," 

our state motto, which means "The People 

Rule.” The seal was adopted in its basic 

form in 1864 and in its present form in 1907.

THE ARKANSAS STATE FLAG HISTORY 

The flag contains a diamond that sits on a red 

backdrop, representing the only place in 

North America that diamonds have been 

mined. Twenty-five white stars around the 

diamond signify that Arkansas was the 

twenty-fifth state to join the Union. Four 

stars surround the word Arkansas in the 

center of the flag. The top star recognizes 

Arkansas as a Confederate State during the 

Civil War. The other three stars represent 

Spain, France and the United States as 

countries that had rule over the land.

The word "Arkansas" came from the Quapaw Indians, by way of early French explorers. The explorers 

met a group of Native Americans, known as the Ugakhpah, which means "people who live downstream.". 

These Native Americans later were called the Quapaw, who were also called the Arkansaw.
