The 379th Air Expeditionary Wing (379 AEW) is a provisional United States Air Force unit assigned to Air Combat Command. As a provisional unit, it may be activated or inactivated at any time. The Wing is one of the largest, most diverse expeditionary wings in the Air Force, providing combat airpower and support for the Global War on Terrorism in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation New Dawn, Operation Odyssey Dawn and through support of Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa. The wing and its associate units operate more than 100 aircraft, making the base a large hub for humanitarian airlift activity while providing mission-essential combat power, aeromedical evacuation and intelligence support for three theaters of operations. During World War II, the Wing's predecessor unit, the 379th Bombardment Group was a VIII Bomber Command B-17 Flying Fortress unit in England. Assigned to RAF Kimbolton in early 1943, the group flew more sorties than any other bomb group in the Eighth Air Force, and dropped a greater bomb tonnage than any other group. The combat record of the 379th was the most successful of all the Eighth Air Force heavy bomber groups, receiving two Distinguished Unit Citations. Active for over 50 years, the 379th Bombardment Wing was a component organization of Strategic Air Command's deterrent force during the Cold War, as a strategic bombardment wing. ==Units== * 379th Expeditionary Operations Group * * 7th Expeditionary Airborne Command and Control Squadron * * 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron * * 71st Expeditionary Air Control Squadron * * 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron * * 379th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron * * 379th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron * * 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron * * 763d Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron * 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Group * * 379th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (EAMXS) * * 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron (EMXS) * * 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Group Maintenance Operations (EMXG/MXO) * 379th Expeditionary Mission Support Group * * 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron * * 379th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron * * 379th Expeditionary Communications Squadron (AF level 2005 Lt.
