2853 Air Base Wing

The 2853rd Air Base Wing was a support unit of the United States Air Force, activated in the mid-20th century to provide essential base operations and logistical support. Stationed at McClellan Air Force Base, California, the wing managed installation services, security, and maintenance for tenant units, including those involved in depot-level aircraft and electronics overhaul. Throughout its service, the 2853rd played a vital role in sustaining the mission readiness of Air Force assets during the Cold War. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of broader USAF organizational restructuring and base realignment efforts.
