76th Maintenance Wing

The 76th Maintenance Wing was established as part of the United States Air Force, with its origins tracing back to World War II-era maintenance and logistical units. Reactivated and redesignated over the decades, the wing became a key component at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, providing depot-level maintenance, repair, and overhaul for a variety of Air Force weapon systems, including aircraft and engines. The 76th Maintenance Wing played a crucial role in sustaining the operational readiness of platforms such as the B-52 Stratofortress, KC-135 Stratotanker, and E-3 Sentry. In 2012, as part of an Air Force reorganization, the wing was inactivated and its functions were absorbed by the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex.
