The 927th Air Refueling Wing is a combat coded Air Reserve Component wing of the United States Air Force. It is assigned to the Fourth Air Force of Air Force Reserve Command and is stationed at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida.
The wing has over 900 personnel, with approximately 200 full-time officer and enlisted Air Reserve Technicians and 700 part-time Traditional Reservist officers and airmen. An associate unit of the 6th Air Refueling Wing of the Air Mobility Command (AMC), both units share and fly the same Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft at MacDill and at forward deployed locations. The 927th also mirrors the 6th in nearly every aircraft maintenance and mission support function with parallel squadrons. The only activity not replicated in the 927th is a group level activity analogous to the 6th's medical group which operates the MacDill Air Force Base clinic. 927th medical personnel consist of an aerospace medicine squadron and an aeromedical staging squadron.
If mobilized to active duty, the 927th is gained by AMC.
