The 448th Supply Chain Management Wing, a wing of the Air Force Sustainment Center of Air Force Materiel Command serves as the Air Force's supply chain manager headquartered at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.
The wing was first activated in the reserve as the 448th Bombardment Wing in 1949 when Continental Air Command converted its reserve flying organizations under the wing base organization system. It was called to active duty in 1951 for the Korean War, but inactivated a few days when its personnel were transferred to other units.
It was activated again as the 448th Fighter-Bomber Wing in 1955, when it replaced a flying training wing at Hensley Field, Texas. It was inactivated two years later when the Air Force converted its reserve flying units to troop carrier units.
Mission
Plan and execute the Air Force supply chain to enable weapon system employment when and where needed.
History
- For additional history and lineage, see 448th Fighter-Bomber Group
The wing was first activated at Long Beach Municipal Airport when Continental Air Command reorganized its reserve flying units under the wing base organization system as the headquarters for the 448th Bombardment Group, which was already stationed at Long Beach,[1] and the 448th's support elements. The wing was equipped with Douglas B-26 Invaders and a variety of trainers. It trained as a reserve bombardment wing under supervision of the 2347th Air Force Reserve Training Center.[2]
The wing lost more than half of its personnel in August 1950 when the 452d Bombardment Wing, also located at Long Beach, was called to active service as a result of the Korean War.[2][3] The 448th was ordered to active service in March 1951 as the war continued, but its personnel were used as fillers in other units.[3]
The wing was reactivated as the 448th Fighter Bomber Wing in May 1955. It replaced the 8708th Pilot Training Wing at Hensley Field, Texas and took over the 8708th's North American T-28 Trojans. It trained as a reserve fighter-bomber wing with Lockheed F-80 Shooting Stars under the 2683d Air Reserve Center until inactivated in 1957, shortly after acquiring North American F-86 Sabres.[3] The Air Force decided in the late 1950s to convert all its operational reserve units to troop carrier units. Its place at Hensley was taken by the reserve 69th Troop Carrier Squadron.[4]
In 2012 the following four groups were assigned to the wing:Шаблон:Cn
