Location

Savannah, United States

Hunter Army Airfield (IATA: SVN, ICAO: KSVN) is a U.S. Army military installation located in Savannah, Georgia. It serves as the primary airfield for the 3rd Infantry Division and other units stationed at Fort Stewart and Hunter, supporting airlift, training, and rapid deployment operations. The airfield is a restricted military facility and does not serve commercial passenger traffic. It operates under the jurisdiction of the United States Army and handles military cargo, troop movements, and rotary-wing operations. The field is co-located with Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport's general airspace region but is a distinct and separate installation. Hunter Army Airfield plays a strategic role in power projection for the U.S. Army, particularly given its proximity to deep-water ports in Savannah, enabling rapid deployment of heavy equipment and personnel.
