Dover Air Force Base (AFB) is a United States Air Force (USAF) base under the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The 436th Airlift Wing (436 A W) is the active duty wing and senior military organization at Dover AFB. The 436 A W provides command and staff supervision, along with support functions, for assigned airlift aircraft providing worldwide movement of outsized cargo and personnel on scheduled, special assignment, exercise, and contingency airlift missions. The 436 A W consists of the operations, logistics, support, and medical groups, in addition to 12 divisions and two detachments. Dover AFB employs a total of over 8,000 military, civilian, and reserve personnel. The 436 A W is proposing the construction of 25-ft wide shoulders along the length of Runway 14/32 so that the runway meets Unified Facility Criteria 3-260-01 standards. These upgrades would support the efficiency and safety of Dover AFB missions.
