## Description

The 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment fly from Hunter Army Airfield (IATA SVN, ICAO KSVN), a US Army installation in southern Savannah, Georgia, whose runway of about 11,375 ft (3,467 m) ranks among the longest military strips on the east coast. The field is the deployment gate for the 3rd Infantry Division based at nearby Fort Stewart, and the Coast Guard operates Air Station Savannah here for Atlantic search and rescue. Freight does move across the ramp, but strictly in uniform: an Arrival/Departure Airfield Control Group facility of roughly 72,000 sq ft and an on-base railhead load soldiers and equipment onto aircraft and railcars. There are no scheduled or commercial cargo flights, no bookable handling agent and no public customs office on site. Shippers serving the Savannah area use Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) some 20 km to the north-west, with Charleston International (CHS) about 170 km north-east and Atlanta (ATL) as the nearest large freight gateway for heavy or intercontinental consignments. Road and sea carry the region's trade anyway: Interstates 95 and 16 link the metro area with the container port of Savannah a short drive from the airfield, and the airfield's most recent change was a roughly USD 53 million airfield renovation that repaved the runway in 2023 and closed out in 2024.
