 The '''Little Rock Air Force Base''' was established on August 1, 1955, near Jacksonville, Arkansas, on six thousand acres of land formerly occupied by the [[Arkansas Ordnance Plant]]. Over 8000 people make up the population of the Little Rock Air Force, with over 6000 of those people being military personnel.  The base home to the [[314th Tactical Airlift Wing]], [[463rd Airlift Group]], [[189th Airlift Wing]], and is a training facility for Department of Defense C-130 Hercules flight crews. The base also houses the Air Force [[Mobility Weapons School]].  It serves as the Department of Defense's only C-130 training base, which focuses on the training of aerial delivery in all branches of the United States military.
-The effort to bring the base to Jacksonville in the 1950s was spearheaded by [[Everett Tucker Jr.]] of the [[Greater Little Rock Chamber of Commerce]] and [[Raymond Rebsamen]] of the [[Pulaski County Citizens Council]]. A half million dollar fundraising effort to purchase land for the air base was headed by [[Arthur Phillips]], president of the [[M. M. Cohn Company]].

The Little Rock Air Force Base began managing eighteen [[Titan II]] Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in 1960. The missiles themselves were scattered around the state of Arkansas.
