Davis Monthan Air Force Base
DMA designates Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, famous for hosting the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, popularly known as the “boneyard,” where thousands of retired military aircraft are stored in the area's dry desert climate. Beyond aircraft storage, Davis-Monthan serves as an active base supporting A-10 Warthog squadrons and combat search and rescue units.
