The Abilene Trophy
The Abilene Trophy is awarded annually to the community in Air Mobility Command that is most supportive of its local Air Force Base .
Formally known as the Air Mobility Command Community Support Award, it has been awarded since its establishment in 1998. The award's sponsor is the Abilene, Texas Chamber of Commerce . (Abilene is home to Dyess Air Force Base , which has an AMC contingent, the 317th Airlift Group ; however, the host unit for Dyess AFB, the 7th Bomb Wing , is under the Air Force Global Strike Command , and thus Dyess AFB and its host community of Abilene would not be eligible for an award sponsored by its host city.)
