Dover AFB KDOV Airfield Map Art. Dover Air Force Base or Dover AFB (KDOV) is a United States Air Force base located 2 miles southeast of the city of Dover, Delaware. Dover AFB is home to the 436th Airlift Wing (436 AW) of the Air Mobility Command (AMC), known as the “Eagle Wing”, and the AMC-gained 512th Airlift Wing (512 AW) of the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), referred to as the “Liberty Wing”.
