MacDill Air Force Base is located seven miles south of Tampa, Florida, on the southwestern tip of the Interbay Peninsula in Hillsborough County. This area once had been used as a military staging area during the Spanish-American War but did not become a military installation until much later. In 1939, the War Department selected Tampa to receive one of several new military airfields and worked out arrangements for the transfer of the land.

Mission

Organized into four groups to carry out a two-fold mission of air refueling and airlift support to the two Unified Commands based at MacDill. MacDill is home to the United States Central Command and United States Special Operations Command and 51 other tenant units.
