The 94th Airlift Wing is an Air Reserve Component of the United States Air Force. It is assigned to the Twenty-Second Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, stationed at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Georgia.

If activated, Air Education and Training Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Combat Command, and Air Force Reserve Command would each gain separate elements of the wing.

The 94th Airlift Wing is the host organization at Dobbins Air Reserve Base and is responsible for providing security, civil engineering, fire protection, air traffic control, and numerous other services the base and to tenant organizations assigned to the base. This includes the maintenance of the airfield.

The mission of the 94th Airlift Wing is to train "Citizen Airmen" to execute reliable Lockheed C-130 Hercules operations. To accomplish this, the wing recruits, organizes and trains Air Force Reservists for active duty in time of war, national emergency or contingency tasking. The wing's aircrew use the C-130H aircraft to perform aeromedical evacuation missions and to deliver cargo and personnel to locations ranging from dirt runways to international airports. Flight crews also deliver paratroopers and equipment by airdrop during combat.

The 94th Airlift Wing is organized into a headquarters element, three groups, and a medical element containing 12 squadrons [sic] and 1 flight.

The 94th Operations Group is responsible for aerial delivery operations, aeromedical evacuation, operations support and flying squadron activities, a deployable airlift control flight, airfield management, base weather, and air traffic control. The mission involves tactical combat airland and airdrop of personnel and equipment and forward deployed austere operational command and control of airlift support forces. Its units can deploy anywhere in the world in the event of heightened tension, outbreak of hostilities or to support humanitarian mission as dictated by the National Command Authority.
