6200 Air Base Wing-Philippines

The 6200th Air Base Wing was a United States Air Force unit stationed in the Philippines, primarily at Clark Air Base, during the latter years of the Vietnam War and into the 1980s. Established in 1973, it was responsible for providing base operations support, including logistics, security, and facilities maintenance for Clark Air Base and its tenant units. The wing played a crucial role during Operation Babylift and Operation New Life in 1975, assisting with the evacuation and processing of Vietnamese refugees. The 6200th Air Base Wing was inactivated in 1991 following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and the subsequent closure of Clark Air Base.
