The 375th Military Airlift Command, based at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, played a significant role in the United States Air Force's airlift operations during the Cold War era. Originally established as the 375th Troop Carrier Wing in 1949, the unit underwent several redesignations, becoming the 375th Military Airlift Wing in 1966. At Scott AFB, the wing provided crucial aeromedical evacuation and airlift support, transporting personnel, patients, and cargo worldwide. Its missions contributed to both peacetime humanitarian efforts and military operations until its inactivation and subsequent redesignation as the 375th Airlift Wing in later years.
