Elmendorf Air Force Base — Anchorage, United States

EDF designates Elmendorf Air Force Base, a major military installation in Anchorage, Alaska, now part of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) after a 2010 merger with Fort Richardson. Home to the U.S. Air Force's Alaskan Command, Eleventh Air Force, and fighter squadrons flying F-22 Raptors, EDF plays a central role in North American air defense and Arctic military strategy. The base also supports NORAD operations monitoring Alaskan airspace. Beyond fighter operations, JBER hosts cargo and transport aircraft, training exercises, and joint operations with Army units. Its location gives rapid access to the North Pacific and Arctic regions, making it strategically vital. EDF is not open to civilian commercial traffic, functioning purely as a defense and readiness hub for the United States.
