Dobbins Air Reserve Base Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta was originally called Rickenbacker Field in honor of World War I flying ace Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. It was used mainly for training purposes during World War I and came to be known as the Marietta A C-5 flies over Marietta Army Airfield. Then it became known as the Marietta Air Force Base. During World War II, the runway was used by the famous B-29 Super Fortresses that were built in Marietta at the Bell Aircraft plant. On February 6, 1950, the name of the base was officially changed in honor of Captain Charles M. Dobbins of Marietta. Captain Dobbins was killed when his C-47 carrying paratroopers was shot down over the Mediterranean. Neither Captain Dobbins nor his plane were ever recoverd. Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta adjoins Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems. Dobbins Air Reserve Base is the largest multi-service reserve training base in the world. Owned by the Air Force Reserve, Dobbins supports more than 10,000 guardsmen and reservists from the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force. It is home to nearly 50 aircraft assigned to different flying units and boasts more than 7,000 take-offs and landings each month. Among the aircraft based at Dobbins are the C-130 Hercules, DC-9 Sky Train, C-12 Beachcraft Kingair, C-560 Cessna Citation, FA-18 Hornet, E-2 Hawkeye, AH-1 Cobra, UH-1 Huey and UH-60 Blackhawk. A number of C-130, C-141, and C-5 transports may be seen at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems Company. The base provides the runway, control tower, weather and rescue services to all tenants. In addition, Dobbins accommodates a large number of aircraft from other bases that frequently can be seen on the flightline, including Air Force One.

FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.
