These include the 1, 2, & 3
digit Bombardment, Reconnaissance, Aerial Refueling, Missile and
Intelligence Wings. A wing's mission and descriptive designation
often changed, but it retained its numeric designation. When it
acquired Atlas Missiles in 1961, the 380th Bombardment Wing became the
380th Aerospace Wing. The Atlas were deactivated in 1965, so
it once again became the 380th Bombardment Wing. Once it's bombers were
phased out, its mission was confined to refueling so it became the 380th
Aerial Refueling Wing. All names are shown.
Please note that although they were "Constituted
Combat Wings," the fighters are listed separately. |
