The 330th Bomb Wing was attached from 27 June 1949 to 30 April 1951. The 22d Wing's headquarters was at the time non-operational and its components detached. From 10 May 1949 to 16 February 1950, after moving to March AFB, CA, shared a commander in common with the 1st Fighter Wing. Until 1 July 1949, the 22nd Wing was non-operational, attached to the 1st Fighter Wing, but on 1 July 1949 the 22nd was made operational and assumed host status, with the 1st Fighter Wing attached to it for control until 1 April 1950. The 22nd Bombardment Group was detached from 14 November 1949 to 20 February 1950, during which time the wing controlled only the attached fighters of the 1st Fighter Wing. The bomb group was detached again for combat in Korea, 4 July – c. 31 October 1950, and during this period the wing controlled no aircraft. When operational, the wing trained to maintain proficiency in global strategic bombardment, adding Air refueling to its mission in 1952. The wing deployed at Mildenhall RAF Station, England, September–December 1951, and at Upper Heyford RAF Station, England, December 1953 – March 1954. From April to July 1957, it deployed at Andersen AFB, Guam. The wing was not tactically operational 11 March – 15 September 1963, while converting to B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers. Supported Fifteenth Air Force's post-attack command and control system (PACCS) with EC-135s, September 1964 – March 1970. The 22nd was a "super" wing, 1966–1971, with two bombardment and two tanker squadrons. From 10 March to c. 1 October 1967 the wing was reduced to a small "rear-echelon" non-tactical organization with all tactical resources and most support resources loaned to SAC organizations involved in combat operations in Southeast Asia. The wing continued to support SAC operations in the Far East and Southeast Asia through 1975, and from 10 April 1972 to 29 October 1973 again had its entire bomber resources loaned to other organizations for combat and contingency operations. KC-135 resources were also on loan from 10 April to September 1972; afterwards a few tankers returned to wing control. The wing maintained a strategic bombardment alert posture, 1973–1982, and in 1978 it assumed additional conventional warfare missions, including mine-laying and sea reconnaissance/surveillance. Lost bombardment mission in 1982 and equipped with KC-135 and KC-10 aircraft. Thereafter, provided strategic Air refueling and airlift in support of worldwide USAF and other DOD operations and training exercises. Moved personnel and cargo in support of Chadian resistance to Libyan incursions in 1983 and conducted airlift and refueling missions during rescue of US nationals in Grenada, 1983. Provided specialized refueling support to SR-71 aircraft reconnaissance operations worldwide, c. 1985–1990, and to the F-117 stealth aircraft program, c. 1987-Supported F-117 deployments to Saudi Arabia and contributed aircraft and personnel to logistics efforts in support of the liberation of Kuwait, 1990– </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

Wing personnel established flight records, flying two B-29s around the world in 1948 in 15 days, flying the B-50 Lucky Lady II nonstop around the world in 94 hours and 40 seconds in 1949, and setting a jet endurance record in 1954 by keeping a B-47 airborne for 47:35 hours. Converted to B-58 aircraft, the world's first supersonic bomber, in 1960. From March 1960 to July 1961 operated a combat crew training school for B-58 aircrews, and from July 1962 until late 1969 served as one of two SAC B-58 wings with a strategic bombardment mission. During the 1960s the wing established world flight speed records in the B-58. For example, in May 1961, a wing B-58 flew from New York to Paris in 3 hours, 14 minutes, and 45 seconds, establishing a new transatlantic speed record of 1,089.36 mph. During a race in 1962, a wing B-58 flew from Los Angeles to New York at an average speed of 1,214.65 mph. It flew from Los Angeles to New York and back in 4 hours, 41 minutes, and 15 seconds. The wing also controlled an air refueling squadron from August 1964 until inactivation in January 1970. It activated again in April 1970, replacing the 3960 Strategic Wing at Andersen AFB, Guam. On 1 July 1970, the 43d also assumed tasks formerly handled by the Bombardment Wing Provisional, 4133, including a combat mission. Employed attached aircraft and aircrews of other Strategic Air Command units to participate in "Arc Light" combat missions in Southeast Asia from 1 July to mid-August 1970, and again from February 1972 to August 1973. Following the end of combat operations, provided routing training and ground alert with B-52 and KC-135 aircraft, the latter provided by other Strategic Air Command units on loan. During 1975, provided logistical and medical support to thousands of Vietnamese refugees evacuated from their homeland and located temporarily at Guam awaiting resettlement in the United States. Trained to remain proficient in strategic and conventional warfare capabilities. Beginning in 1974, controlled TDY tankers and crews participating in the Pacific (formerly Andersen) Tanker Task Force that supported Strategic Air Command operations in the western Pacific. In July 1986, activated the 65 Strategic Squadron to control the TDY air refueling forces. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="44th_Wings_"Aggressors_Beware""><span id="44th_Wings_.22Aggressors_Beware.22"></span>44th Wings "Aggressors Beware"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: 44th Wings "Aggressors Beware""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/44th_Missile_Wing" title="44th Missile Wing">44th Missile Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="55th_Wings_"We_See_All""><span id="55th_Wings_.22We_See_All.22"></span>55th Wings "We See All"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: 55th Wings "We See All""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/55th_Wing" title="55th Wing">55th Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="68th_Bomb_Wing_"Follow_Me""><span id="68th_Bomb_Wing_.22Follow_Me.22"></span>68th Bomb Wing "Follow Me"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: 68th Bomb Wing "Follow Me""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/68th_Air_Refueling_Wing" class="mw-redirect" title="68th Air Refueling Wing">68th Air Refueling Wing</a> </p> <ul><li>Redesignated on: 16 June 1952.</li> <li>At: Lake Charles AFB, LA.</li> <li>Assigned to: Second Air Force.</li> <li>Equipment: B-29s.</li> <li>Reassigned to: Second Air Force, 806th Air Division on 16 June 1952.

The wing's 93d Bombardment Group deployed to Okinawa in 1948, becoming the first SAC bomb group to deploy in full strength to the Far East. The wing began aerial refueling operations in October 1950. It deployed its tactical force, augmented by support personnel, to England, July 1950 – January 1951. The entire wing deployed to England, December 1951 – March 1952. Provided aerial refueling and navigational assistance for the July 1952 movement of the 31st Fighter-Escort Wing from the United States to Japan, the first jet fighter crossing of the Pacific Ocean, during the Korean War. First SAC wing to convert to B-52 aircraft, 1955–1956. Became SAC's primary B-52 aircrew training organization, incorporating KC-135 aircrew training for refueling in mid-1956. Notable operations: non-stop B-52 flights of some 16,000 miles around North America and to the North Pole (November 1956); first jet aircraft nonstop flight around the world (January 1957); nonstop, unrefueled KC-135 flight from Yokota AB, Japan, to Washington, DC (April 1958). During the 1970s, specially equipped B-52H models conducted long distance, high altitude (50,000+ feet) air sampling missions after Chinese H-bomb tests using special ram scoop modules installed in the forward bomb bay. Although most of the wing's components were used for B-52 and KC-135 aircrew training between 1956 and 1995, one or more of its units sometimes participated in tactical operations, including aerial refueling. From April 1968 to April 1974, operated a special B-52 replacement training unit to support SAC's B-52 operation in Southeast Asia. Won the SAC Bombing and Navigation Competition and the Fairchild Trophy in 1949, 1952, and 1970, and the Omaha Trophy as the outstanding SAC wing in 1970. In August 1990 the wing operated an aerial port of embarkation for personnel and equipment deploying to Southwest Asia during Desert Shield. In addition to aerial refueling, tankers ferried personnel and equipment, while B-52s deployed to strategic locations worldwide, including Saudi Arabia. Bombed the Iraqi Republican Guard and targeted Iraqi chemical weapons, nuclear, and industrial plants during Desert Storm, January–February 1991. Relieved of its air refueling and KC-135 aircrew training missions in 1992. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="95th_Wings_"Justice_with_Victory""><span id="95th_Wings_.22Justice_with_Victory.22"></span>95th Wings "Justice with Victory"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: 95th Wings "Justice with Victory""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/95th_Air_Base_Wing" title="95th Air Base Wing">95th Air Base Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="96th_Wings_"It_is_Always_the_Hour""><span id="96th_Wings_.22It_is_Always_the_Hour.22"></span>96th Wings "It is Always the Hour"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: 96th Wings "It is Always the Hour""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/96th_Air_Base_Wing" class="mw-redirect" title="96th Air Base Wing">96th Air Base Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="97th_Wings_"The_Hour_has_Come""><span id="97th_Wings_.22The_Hour_has_Come.22"></span>97th Wings "The Hour has Come"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: 97th Wings "The Hour has Come""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="97th_Bomb_Wing">97th Bomb Wing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: 97th Bomb Wing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/97th_Air_Mobility_Wing" title="97th Air Mobility Wing">97th Air Mobility Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="97th_Wing">97th Wing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: 97th Wing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Redesignated on: 1 September 1991.</li> <li>At: Blytheville AFB (later Eaker AFB), AR.</li> <li>Assigned to: Eighth Air Force.</li> <li>Equipment: B-52s, KC-135s.</li> <li>Changed equipment in: 1992 to KC-135s.</li> <li>Inactivated on: 1 April 1992.</li></ul> <p>Flew bombardment training missions from Alaska over the Arctic Ocean, late 1947 and early 1948. Continued bombardment training in the south central United States after March 1948. Transitioned from propeller-driven to jet-driven bombers in 1955. Added air-refueling mission in early 1950. Sent tactical units to England, November 1948 – February 1949 and July 1950 – February 1951. Entire wing deployed in England, 15 March – 11 June 1952, and squadrons operated from Guam, December 1952 – March 1953 and December 1953 – July 1954. Added electronic reconnaissance to bombardment and refueling missions in April 1954, with reconnaissance missions conducted from England and Japan. Relinquished the reconnaissance mission in May 1956 but continued bombardment and air-refueling training to meet the Strategic Air Command (SAC)'s global commitments. Deployed to RAF Upper Heyford, England, May–July 1956. This was the last full-strength wing deployment, but wing components went overseas thereafter as needed. Not operational from 15 January 1959 to 1960. Supported build-up for the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. Supported SAC's combat operations in Southeast Asia in the mid and late 1960s and early 1970s, furnishing aircraft and crews to other organizations. By mid 1972, all of the wing's aircraft and more than one-fourth of its people had been loaned to USAF organizations in the Far East, Southeast Asia, and other overseas locations. A few of the wing's KC-135s began returning in April 1973, but its B-52s remained on loan until October 1973. Thereafter, the wing resumed strategic-bombardment training and worldwide air-refueling operations as required by SAC. Provided air refueling for USAF units supporting the rescue of American citizens in Grenada, October–November 1983. Upgraded its bombers to carry the AGM-86B air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) in 1984 and won SAC's Fairchild Trophy for excellence in bombing and navigation in 1985. In 1987, the wing's mission expanded to include conventional bombing, sea search/surveillance, and aerial mining. In 1988, earned the Omaha Trophy as SAC's outstanding wing. After the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, the 97th deployed KC-135 aircraft and maintenance personnel overseas to support forces in transit to Southwest Asia, and in January–February 1991, its B-52s flew from overseas bases to drop conventional ordnance on Iraqi forces in the Kuwaiti theater of operations. The wing relinquished its ALCMs in March–April 1991 and ended bombardment flying in November 1991 and tanker missions in March 1992. Emblem approved 2 May 1957. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="98th_Bomb_Wing_"Force_for_Freedom""><span id="98th_Bomb_Wing_.22Force_for_Freedom.22"></span>98th Bomb Wing "Force for Freedom"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: 98th Bomb Wing "Force for Freedom""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/98th_Range_Wing" class="mw-redirect" title="98th Range Wing">98th Range Wing</a> </p> <ul><li>Established on: 24 October 1947.</li> <li>Organized on: 10 November 1947.</li> <li>At: Fairchild AFB, WA.</li> <li>Assigned to: Fifteenth Air Force, (Attached to the 92nd Bomb Wing from 7 November 1947 to 12 July 1948).</li> <li>Equipment: B-29s.</li> <li>Inactivated on: 12 July 1948.</li> <li>98th Bomb Wing established on: 28 May 1948.</li> <li>Activated on: 12 July 1948.</li> <li>At: Fairchild AFB, WA.</li> <li>Assigned to: Fifteenth Air Force on 12 July 1948.

The wing's tactical group was operational, but under control of other organizations from November 1947 to April 1950 and again from August 1950 through March 1951. On 1 April 1951, wing headquarters deployed to Japan to assume control over combat operations of three tactical squadrons. Combat missions included interdiction of enemy communications and support of United Nations ground forces. Last combat mission flown 25 July 1953. Dropped propaganda leaflets on day of truce two days later. Remained in Japan in combat-ready status for another year. Meanwhile, wing components not deployed in Japan moved to a reopened base in Nebraska to supervise construction in preparation for movement there of deployed wing components. In July 1954, wing components concentrated at Lincoln AFB, NE. Air refueling operations were already underway by then. During next decade, participated in Strategic Air Command's worldwide bombardment training and air refueling commitments. Deployed at Lakenheath RAF Station, England, 11 November 1955 – 29 January 1956. From January 1964 to April 1965, the wing also controlled an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) squadron. Replaced the 3970th Strategic Wing in Spain on 25 June 1966. For the next decade, the wing had no tactical components assigned, but it used attached KC-135 tankers and crews furnished by other Strategic Air Command wings to provide air refueling support to meet operational commitments of various commands in the eastern Atlantic, most of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="99th_Bomb_Wing_"Let_Aggressors_Beware""><span id="99th_Bomb_Wing_.22Let_Aggressors_Beware.22"></span>99th Bomb Wing "Let Aggressors Beware"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: 99th Bomb Wing "Let Aggressors Beware""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/99th_Air_Base_Wing" title="99th Air Base Wing">99th Air Base Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="100th_Wings_"Peace_Through_Strength""><span id="100th_Wings_.22Peace_Through_Strength.22"></span>100th Wings "Peace Through Strength"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: 100th Wings "Peace Through Strength""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>See <a href="/wiki/100th_Air_Refueling_Wing" title="100th Air Refueling Wing">100th Air Refueling Wing</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="100th_Bomb_Wing">100th Bomb Wing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_USAF_Bomb_Wings_and_Wings_assigned_to_Strategic_Air_Command&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: 100th Bomb Wing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Equipment: B-47s, KC-97s,</li> <li>Reassigned to: Eighth Air Force, 817th Air Division on 1 February 1956.

The wing's 307th Bombardment Group deployed to Okinawa in August 1950 for combat operations under FEAF Bomber Command, Provisional. The attached 306th Bombardment Group transferred to its parent wing on 1 September 1950, and until 10 February 1951, the 307th Wing had no tactical mission. On that date, wing resources were used to man the 6th Air Division at MacDill, and the wing deployed without personnel to Kadena, where it absorbed resources of the 307th Bombardment Group and began flying combat missions. By the end of hostilities, the wing (including its tactical group) had flown 5,810 combat sorties during 573 combat missions. The wing remained in the Far East in combat ready status, and on 15 August 1953, Kadena AB, Okinawa, became its permanent base. Returned to the United States in November 1954, disposing of B-29s at Davis–Monthan AFB, AZ, en route to a new base in NE. Gained B-47 and KC-97 aircraft in 1955, and, until January 1965 when the wing began phasing down for inactivation, conducted strategic bombardment training and air refueling operations to meet SAC's global commitments. </p><p>The wing was reactivated in Thailand in April 1970, replacing the 4258th Strategic Wing. Until inactivated in September 1975, the 307th was the only regular Air Force SAC wing in Southeast Asia.
