Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation located in Tucson, Arizona. The base is home to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), also known as the "Boneyard," which is the world's largest aircraft storage and maintenance facility. Davis-Monthan AFB is also the host of several other Air Force units and is a significant training and operational hub.

The base was established in 1940 and has a long history of service, playing a crucial role in various conflicts and operations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Its strategic location in the arid Arizona desert makes it ideal for the long-term preservation of aircraft. AMARG's primary mission is to store, maintain, and eventually dispose of excess or retired military aircraft from all branches of the U.S. military, as well as from allied nations.

Beyond aircraft storage, Davis-Monthan AFB supports active flying missions and provides support for air combat training. It is a vital asset for the Air Force's global reach and readiness capabilities. The base contributes significantly to the local economy of Tucson and plays a role in aerospace research and development through its specialized units.
