Moody planeMoody Air Force Base, located 10 miles northeast of Valdosta, was founded as a result of concerned Valdosta and Lowndes County citizens seeking to assist the expanding defense program in the early stages of World War II. Research suggested developing an air corps training base, and in 1941 the War Department was granted exclusive use of over 9,000 acres of land by the Agricultural Department. MAFB is named in memory of Major George Putnam Moody, an Air Force pioneer who was on the inspection board for the AT-10 transitional trainers that were eventually sent to the base.

Home to the 23rd Wing, the mission of the over 4,200 military personnel is to organize, train, and employ combat-ready rescue chopperpararescuemen, A/ OA-10, HH-60, HC-130 and support forces to execute worldwide close air support, force protection and combat search and rescue operations, national security and the global war on terrorism. The base is also home to the Air Force's new 93rd Air Ground Operations Wing.

The men and women of Moody Air Force Base have historically enjoyed respect and support from area citizens, perhaps evidenced most strongly by the intense lobbying to save the base when it appeared on a closure list. Not only was the based spared, but the base gained approximately 600 positions. Moody Air Force Base also employs nearly 400 civilians.

Personnel at Moody Air Force Base return the hospitality to the metropolitan Valdosta area. One of the community favorites is the “Scare Force” Haunted House at Halloween. Area high school and college students interested in a military career are welcomed to “shadow” a staffer in a particular career field for a day.

Moody Air Force Base personnel (and all active duty and retired military personnel) enjoy exclusive access to nearby Grassy Pond, a 500+ acre recreation area where boating, picnicking, camping, fishing and hiking are enjoyed in a pristine wilderness setting.
