Savannah is home to Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart, headquarters of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division.

Combined, the two bases are home to more than 21,000 miltary tenants and generate an annual direct federal expenditure of $1.2 billion.

The strong presence of military in our area further increases the demand for retail, food service, real estate, and other sectors. In addition to the highly trained and disciplined military personnel, the bases are home to military dependents, many of whom fill important jobs in the private sector.
