8th Fighter Wing

The 8th Fighter Wing, known as the "Wolf Pack," was activated in August 1948 and is currently based at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea. The unit distinguished itself during the Korean War, flying combat missions and earning several unit citations. During the Vietnam War, the 8th Fighter Wing gained fame under the leadership of Colonel Robin Olds, conducting significant air-to-air and ground attack missions from Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base. Today, the wing remains an essential component of U.S. forces in Korea, maintaining readiness to defend the Korean Peninsula with its fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons.
