552 TAWi

The 552nd Tactical Airlift Wing (TAWi) is a unit of the Philippine Air Force established to provide tactical airlift support for military operations and humanitarian missions across the Philippines. Activated in the late 20th century, the wing has played a key role in rapid deployment of troops, logistical resupply, and emergency evacuation during both combat and disaster response scenarios. Over the years, the 552 TAWi has operated various aircraft, including the C-130 Hercules and other transport planes, enhancing the mobility and flexibility of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Its contributions have been vital in ensuring sustained military presence and timely relief efforts throughout the archipelago.
