| rdfs:comment | - The airbase is located in the north of Anchorage; it has two runways for take-off and landing: 06/24 (3050 m long) and 16/34 (2290 m long). Fighter aircraft like the F-22 Raptor and F-15 Eagle are based at Elmendorf AFB, but also Transport aircraft like C-12 and C-17 and E-3 AWACS aircraft. About 6500 soldiers and 1000 civilian employees (as of 2006) are stationed on Elmendorf AFB.
- Elmendorf Air Force Base was a United States Armed Forces base in northern Alaska. By the time of the Anchorage Reclamation, Chinese forces had taken the base.
- Elmendorf's mission is to support and defend U.S. interests in the Asia Pacific region and around the world by providing units who are ready for worldwide air power projection and a base that is capable of meeting PACOM's theater staging and throughput requirements.
- Elemendorf Air Force Base was destroyed by a Soviet atomic bomb on February 7, 1951. This attack came in response to the USA's destruction of the Soviet base at Pechenga three days before. The destruction of Elemndorf was particularly galling as President Harry Truman had ordered Alaska be on alert. The Soviets flew well below radar, and moreover painted their Tu-4s to look like B-29s.
