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.
