270th ABW

The 270th Air Base Wing (ABW) was established in the early 1960s as part of the United States Air Force’s efforts to expand its support and infrastructure units during the Cold War. Initially stationed at a key stateside airbase, the 270th ABW provided essential base operations support, including security, logistics, and facility management for flying and training units. During its operational years, the wing played a vital role in maintaining combat readiness and supporting overseas deployments, especially during periods of heightened tensions. In the late 1980s, with the restructuring of the Air Force, the 270th ABW was inactivated, and its missions were absorbed by successor units.
