Space-Available travel from Pope Field, North Carolina — where AMC no longer operates a passenger terminal and roll calls run from the 43d Air Mobility Squadron lobby.
Pope Field, part of Fort Liberty in North Carolina, no longer has an AMC-operated passenger terminal. Air Mobility Command runs Space-A roll calls from the lobby of the 43d Air Mobility Squadron, Building 753, at advertised roll-call times.
For a Space-A traveler, Pope is a bare-bones operation. Travel opportunities are limited, passenger service representatives are present only at advertised roll-call times, and traveler amenities are severely limited — there is no long-term parking, no passenger holding area, no food or vending, and no on-site phone, fax, or internet.
The move at Pope: treat it as a roll-call-only stop. Sign up by email or the drop box in the Building 753 lobby, watch the 72-hour schedule, and arrive self-sufficient — bring your own food, water, and a plan for transportation and lodging, since none of that is available on site.

At a Glance
Editorial summary of the live numbers below.
- AMC no longer operates a passenger terminal at Pope Field. Space-A roll calls run from the lobby of the 43d Air Mobility Squadron, Building 753, at advertised roll-call times only — there is no standing terminal.
- Travel opportunities through Pope are limited and infrequent. Treat it as an occasional, opportunistic roll-call stop rather than a terminal you plan a trip around.
- Amenities are severely limited — no long-term parking, no holding area, no food or vending, no on-site phone or internet. Arrive self-sufficient, with your own food and water and a plan for transportation and lodging.
- Passenger service representatives are present only at advertised roll-call times, so watch the 72-hour schedule closely and confirm a roll call is posted before you go.
- April 2026 saw an unusually high spike in flight volume across many AMC terminals — probably driven by real-world operations rather than typical cadence. Weight the other months more heavily when planning your trip.

FAQ
Travelers ask these about this terminal specifically.
I know flights are based on mission requirements. Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of making the flight?
Sign up early, and show up early to mark present. If only a few Space-A passengers have marked present shortly before roll call, terminal staff will tell mission planners that cargo can be added to the pallet positions that would have held seats. On certain aircraft, that means fewer Space-A seats than there are travelers waiting. The fix is to mark present as early as you can — don't wait until just before roll call.
Do I really need to bring a copy of my sign-up email?
Yes — always bring a hard copy of your sign-up email, and make sure it shows a date and time stamp. Terminal staff use that stamp to confirm your priority on the manifest at roll call.
Will they let me on the flight if my ID is expired?
No. Check every ID before you travel, and if any will expire during your trip, renew them now. Expired IDs (including your CAC, dependent ID, and passport) will keep you off the flight.
