67th Cyberspace Wing

The 67th Cyberspace Wing is a <a href="/facts/United_States_Air_Force/7MxWBYlc">United States Air Force</a> wing stationed at <a href="/facts/Lackland_Air_Force_Base/9LdlLTw4">Lackland Air Force Base</a>, Texas. It was activated in October 1993 as a <a href="/facts/Military_intelligence/VQJypEMT">military intelligence</a> unit and is assigned to the <a href="/facts/Sixteenth_Air_Force/Y2nMpl3f">Sixteenth Air Force</a>.
The wing was first activated at <a href="/facts/March_Field/SqpeNJYB">March Field</a> as the 67th Reconnaissance Wing as part of the <a href="/facts/Hobson_Plan/syu6pYBj">wing base organization</a> system. However, only its <a href="/facts/67th_Tactical_Reconnaissance_Group/EvgJGDcb">67th Tactical Reconnaissance Group</a> ever became operational and it relied on another wing for support. It was inactivated in the 1949 <a href="/facts/Harry_S._Truman/2E2LmMoB">Truman</a> reductions in the <a href="/facts/United_States_Department_of_Defense/dWAvf7e3">Department of Defense</a> budget.
In February 1951, the wing was reactivated in Japan as the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, replacing the <a href="/facts/543d_Tactical_Support_Group/FKUg6xDW">543d Tactical Support Group</a> as the headquarters for <a href="/facts/Aerial_reconnaissance/xvWXgLKT">tactical reconnaissance</a> units during the <a href="/facts/Korean_War/Qo93pNhE">Korean War</a>. It moved to Korea and served in combat until the <a href="/facts/Korean_Armistice_Agreement/pLfNEc3z">armistice</a> was signed in July 1953. Following the war, it returned to Japan and by 1957 was the only reconnaissance unit assigned to <a href="/facts/Far_East_Air_Forces/4dqjjGyI">Far East Air Forces</a>. The wing was inactivated in 1960 and its remaining squadrons were assigned to other units.
In 1966, the wing was reactivated at <a href="/facts/Mountain_Home_Air_Force_Base/W6ppfRzS">Mountain Home Air Force Base</a>, Idaho and trained for reconnaissance missions. It became <a href="/facts/Tactical_Air_Command/XfaWPMg8">Tactical Air Command</a>'s replacement training unit for the <a href="/facts/McDonnell_RF-4C_Phantom_II/epGAnaxt">McDonnell RF-4C Phantom II</a>. From 1968 to 1970, it acquired a fighter unit and also trained <a href="/facts/Fighter_aircraft/NuIvaGJg">fighter</a> aircrews on the F-4. In July 1971, Mountain Home became a fighter base and the wing moved without personnel or equipment to <a href="/facts/Bergstrom_Air_Force_Base/pCUruL79">Bergstrom Air Force Base</a>, Texas, where it absorbed the assets of the <a href="/facts/75th_Tactical_Reconnaissance_Wing/PBer9Gof">75th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing</a>, which was inactivated. It continued its reconnaissance mission at Bergstrom until inactivating on 30 September 1993. The wing reactivated the following day at <a href="/facts/Kelly_Air_Force_Base/2u82jFWr">Kelly Air Force Base</a> as the 67th Intelligence Wing under Air Intelligence Agency and continued the electronic intelligence mission. It has been redesignated multiple times since then, including a change to 67th Information Operations Wing and being assigned to <a href="/facts/Eighth_Air_Force/6zQIXMFk">Eighth Air Force</a>. It was later redesignated as the 67th Network Warfare Wing. When the <a href="/facts/Twenty-Fourth_Air_Force/8bK6eEDF">Twenty-Fourth Air Force</a> was activated in 2009, it was reassigned from <a href="/facts/Eighth_Air_Force/6zQIXMFk">Eighth Air Force</a> to <a href="/facts/Twenty-Fourth_Air_Force/8bK6eEDF">Twenty-Fourth Air Force</a>. It is currently assigned to <a href="/facts/Sixteenth_Air_Force/Y2nMpl3f">Sixteenth Air Force</a> and is currently designated as the 67th Cyberspace Wing.
