The base is located just east of the city of Warner Robins, 18 mi (29 km) south-southeast of Macon and approximately 100 mi (160 km) south-southeast of Atlanta, Georgia. The base is named in honor of Brig Gen Augustine Warner Robins, the Air Force's "father of logistics".^[2] The base is the single largest industrial complex in Georgia, employing a workforce of over 25,584 civilian, contractor, and military members.^[3]
