Military Matters

Since 1918, when Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base was formed in the capital city at the very same spot that witnessed the state’s first flight, a link was forged between Montgomery and the military institution. For more than a century, a mutually beneficial relationship has grown and strengthened. The base contributes much to Montgomery, and the city welcomes members of the military and their families here, helping them become embedded in our community.
