26th TRW Phalsbourg,France

The 26th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing (TRW) was a United States Air Force unit stationed at Phalsbourg-Bourscheid Air Base, France, during the early 1960s. Activated in 1961, the wing's primary mission was to provide tactical reconnaissance support for NATO forces in Europe, using aircraft such as the RF-84F Thunderflash. The 26th TRW played a critical role in intelligence gathering during the height of the Cold War, enhancing NATO's situational awareness. The unit was inactivated in 1963 as part of a broader realignment of U.S. forces in Europe.
