7275th Air Base Group

The 7275th Air Base Group was a United States Air Force unit activated during the Cold War era to support American military operations in Europe. Established in the late 1950s, the group was assigned to oversee base operations and provide vital logistical, administrative, and security services at Wheelus Air Base, Libya. The unit played a significant role in supporting USAF tactical and training missions in the Mediterranean region, particularly for Strategic Air Command and tactical fighter deployments. The 7275th Air Base Group was inactivated in 1970 when U.S. forces withdrew from Wheelus Air Base, following the change in the political landscape of Libya.
