Robins Air Force Base

Just east and adjacent to the city of Warner Robins is Robins Air Force Base, one of the largest employers in Georgia, thanks to more than 25,000 military, civil service and contractor jobs. Those jobs account for more than $1 billion annually in salaries and wages. The residential population on the base is less than 1,200, which means that most personnel and their families reside and enjoy life throughout the entire Robins Region.
