507th Air Refueling Wing

The 507th Air Refueling Wing, based at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, traces its origins to the 507th Fighter Group, which was activated during World War II and served in the Pacific Theater. Reactivated and redesignated several times through the decades, the unit became the 507th Air Refueling Wing in 1994, assuming a critical role in aerial refueling operations. Equipped with KC-135R Stratotankers, the wing supports global mobility and combat operations by providing in-flight refueling for U.S. and allied aircraft. As an Air Force Reserve unit, the 507th ARW continues to be integral to strategic air operations, readiness, and homeland defense.
