10th Tactical Recon Wing

The **10th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing** (10th TRW) was activated by the United States Air Force in 1952, initially stationed at Toul-Rosières Air Base in France. Its primary mission was to conduct tactical aerial reconnaissance during the Cold War, providing vital intelligence for U.S. and NATO operations in Europe. The wing later moved to RAF Alconbury in the United Kingdom, where it operated a variety of aircraft, including the RB-66 Destroyer and the RF-4C Phantom II. The 10th TRW distinguished itself through participation in multiple NATO exercises and remained an essential intelligence asset until its inactivation in 1992 following the end of the Cold War.
