906th Air Refueling Wing

The 906th Air Refueling Wing was a unit of the United States Air Force Reserve, first established in 1963 as the 906th Troop Carrier Group at Clinton County Air Force Base, Ohio. Originally tasked with tactical airlift missions, the wing later transitioned to air refueling operations, operating the KC-135 Stratotanker. Throughout its history, the 906th supported numerous training exercises and real-world operations, providing vital aerial refueling capability to enhance U.S. and allied air operations. The unit was inactivated in the mid-1990s as part of post-Cold War restructuring and realignment within the Air Force Reserve.
