Headquarters for the Air Force Reserve is located at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia. It is charged with monitoring and overseeing the day-to-day activities of more than 300 flying and support units.

Thirty-six Wings comprise the Air Force Reserve. Each Wing is charged with a core mission that is accomplished through the collaboration of a variety of specifically tasked squadrons.

Reserve wings report to one of three numbered Air Forces reporting to Headquarters Air Force Reserve. The numbered Air Forces assist their wings in using the guidance and resources provided by their higher headquarters to ensure combat readiness.
