88th Air Base Wing

The 88th Air Base Wing was originally activated in 1944 as the 4000th Army Air Forces Base Unit, serving as a key support organization during World War II. Re-designated several times throughout its history, it became the 88th Air Base Wing in 1994. Stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, the Wing provides vital installation support, security, and services for over 100 tenant units, including the Air Force Materiel Command headquarters. The 88th Air Base Wing continues to play a crucial role in supporting both military and civilian personnel, enabling critical research, development, and acquisition missions for the United States Air Force.
