==Overview==
Stratton ANGB hosts the NY ANG 109th Airlift Wing. The wing is unique as it is the only USAF unit equipped with 10 ski-equipped C-130 Hercules aircraft, and provides the nation's only air cargo lift capability to polar destinations. Since 1971, the 109th has played an important role in support of the National Science Foundation's research expeditions at both the North and South Poles.〔(109th Airlift Wing History )〕
Food, fuel and other equipment are delivered as far North as Thule Air Base, Greenland by normal air transport. From there, these supplies are flown by the LC-130H of the 109th. In addition to the polar missions, the 109th AW supports the airlift responsibilities in support of Air Mobility Command and uses its aircraft as directed by AMC. BRAC 2005 transferred four non ski-equipped C-130H aircraft to Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas.〔
The base has 39 buildings, amounting to approximately and occupies of land on two holdings leased from Schenectady County. Most of the existing facilities are on the larger main parcel while a Small Arms Firing Range and Rapid Runway Repair training facility are on the smaller south parcel. There are 526 full-time personnel on base with a once a month drill weekend surge to 1,268 personnel.〔
