307th Bomb Wing

The 307th Bomb Wing is an Air Reserve component of the United States Air Force. It is assigned to the Tenth Air Force of Air Force Reserve Command, stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. If mobilized, the wing is gained by Air Force Global Strike Command.

The wing was first activated in 1947 as part of the test of the Wing Base Organization system as the 307th Bombardment Wing as the headquarters for the 307th Bombardment Group and its supporting organizations. It served in the Korean War, where it earned a Presidential Unit Citation. It served as a strategic bomber organization until inactivated in 1965.

The wing was again activated as the 307th Strategic Wing in 1970 at U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield, Thailand. It managed deployed Strategic Air Command tankers and bombers participating in combat operations in Southeast Asia until it was inactivated on 30 September 1975.

With the divestiture of Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft from Air Force Reserve Command's composite 917th Wing at Barksdale, the 917th was inactivated and its Boeing B-52 Stratofortress aircraft transferred to the reactivated 307th Bomb Wing on 8 January 2011.

On 17 October 2015 the Air Force reactivated the 489th Bomb Group under the wing. The 489 is a classic associate at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas flying the Rockwell B-1B Lancer.
