Ellsworth Air Force Base: Home of the 28th Bomb Wing
Ellsworth Air Force Base occupies roughly 4,800 acres about 10 miles east of Rapid City, straddling parts of Pennington and Meade counties. The installation is home to the 28th Bomb Wing, which operates the B-1B Lancer, a variable-sweep-wing supersonic heavy bomber capable of carrying the largest conventional payload in the U.S. Air Force fleet. The base was named in 1953 after Brigadier General Richard E. Ellsworth, commander of the 28th, who died when his RB-36 crashed during a training mission over Newfoundland.
The installation houses approximately 8,000 active duty personnel, civilian employees, and family members as registered population. A 2019 Department of Defense decision designated Ellsworth as one of the first two bases to receive the B-21 Raider next-generation stealth bomber. Construction of support facilities for the Raider began during the 2020s, and the first aircraft arrivals are anticipated later in the decade. The South Dakota Air and Space Museum, just outside the main gate, exhibits retired aircraft including a B-52 Stratofortress, a B-1B, and a Minuteman II missile in its original silo open for public tours.
