The Joint Base Charleston community encompasses more than 20,000 active-duty, Reserve and civilian personnel, spanning across its Air Base and Weapons Station.

The Air Base, Weapons Station, the local community and their representatives, and the Department of Defense believe Joint Basing is the stepping stone to making Charleston a Joint Logistics, Transportation and Engineering Hub and the worldwide leader in moving people, vehicles, munitions, and supplies via air, land, sea, and rail.

Unique with over 53 tenants, Joint Team Charleston is comprised of Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Homeland Security, and other DoD missions - all working together in the global fight against terrorism and for the spread of world peace.

The host unit of the Joint Base is the 628th Air Base Wing. The wing has two operational groups consisting of 13 squadrons and one wing staff directorate. The air base wing's primary duties are to provide base support for approximately 80,000 personnel, including active-duty and Reserve military members, civilian government employees and contractors, military family members and retirees.
