Cannon Air Force Base sits on 4.4 square miles in eastern New Mexico's Curry County, seven miles southwest of Clovis. This is home to the 27th Special Operations Wing, which operates CV-22 Osprey and AC-130 gunship aircraft. The base's 35 residents live in noninstitutionalized group quarters (28 of 35 people), with a median age of 24 years. These are active duty airmen, not families.
Mail delivery at Cannon AFB works through building-based addressing rather than PO Boxes. The ZIP+4 database shows 194 street delivery records across 42 distinct streets and 50 named buildings. Street names reflect the special operations mission: Air Commando Way (the primary road with 21 total records), Chindit Boulevard, Eagle Claw Boulevard, and Gunship Road. Buildings are designated by military unit codes like 27 FW/CC (27th Fighter Wing Commander), 428 FS (428th Fighter Squadron), and 27 SPS (27th Security Forces Squadron).
Despite its PO Box classification (a legacy designation from before carrier routes were established), Cannon AFB operates with standard street delivery through a single city carrier route. The base employs 256 workers at 25 business establishments, including AAFES (Army & Air Force Exchange Service), DECA (Defense Commissary Agency), and contractor facilities. The facility code "N" indicates a non-USPS facility. Military mail is handled through the base post office located on Chindit Boulevard.
Cannon AFB was established in 1942 as Clovis Army Air Field. The base primarily serves Air Force Special Operations Command units, with personnel typically stationed here for 2-3 year assignments before rotating to other installations. This explains the exclusively young adult population and absence of traditional households.
Mail should be addressed using the building number and street name, followed by "CANNON AFB, NM 88103" or "CLOVIS, NM 88103" (both are valid mailing names). Unit designations help ensure proper delivery to the correct squadron or facility.
Street names honor special operations history: Chindit refers to WWII special operations forces, Air Commando reflects the unit's heritage, and Eagle Claw references the 1980 Iran rescue mission.
