• Barksdale Helps Airmen Visit Home

    Going home for the holidays may not be as simple as many would like it to be. Many factors play into whether or not an Airman visits home to see their loved ones. One of the biggest deciding factors for Airmen is the cost of travel, particularly for the Air Force’s newest Airmen.

  • Adopt an Airman builds lasting bonds for new Airmen

  • Military and community, building partnerships that last

    Serving the nation is vital, and so is serving the community. That’s why Barksdale Air Force Base partners with local leaders through the Honorary Commander program, pairing them with commanders from units within the 2nd Bomb Wing to bridge the military-civilian gap and build lasting relationships.
