It employed a cross-section of tactical aircraft from Tactical Air Command (TAC) bases across the country. During the Vietnam War it tested tactical weapons systems and tactics for use in Southeast Asia. After the war it continued operational testing of new tactical aviation weapon systems. In 1977 the centre began an annual series of Air Force-wide exercises to improve command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) techniques. Around the same time it embarked on the electronic warfare evaluation program, and continued OT&E of aviation weapon systems for TAC and later Air Combat Command, the Department of Defense, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. From 1983 to present, responsible for the operational testing and evaluation (OT&E) of all Air Force aircraft/weapons systems, and providing range control for live-firing missile programs on the Gulf range and aerial targets, using full scale and subscale drones. In September 1995, the 53d Tactical Fighter Group and USAF Air Warfare Center were consolidated and the consolidated unit was redesignated as the 53d Wing the following month. The United States Air Force Tactical Air Warfare Center had the following aircraft in the 4485th Test Squadron: 7 x F-4E; 4 x RF-4C; 1 x F-15A; 4 x F-15C; 2 x F-16A Fighting Falcon; 3 x F-16C Fighting Falcon; and 3 x A-10A Thunderbolt II aircraft.[2]

By July 1987, four existed Air Divisions (23 AD, 24 AD, 25 AD, 26 AD), which also corresponded to a NORAD region. As part of the reorganization, the 23rd Air Division and the 26th Air Division were disbanded and four air defense sectors led by the two remaining Air Divisions repositioned. Air surveillance has been carried out since 1983 as part of the Joint Surveillance System / JSS conducted by the USAF in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration / FAA of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The majority of Radar systems are operated by the FAA. The First Air Force is reinforced on deployment by Air National Guard units, with the alarm squads of these formations already in peace from the four air defense sectors be led.

366th Tactical Fighter Wing[edit]

A General Dynamics EF-111A (68-0023) of the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing on the ground during the 1980s.

The 366th Tactical Fighter Wing was included in part of the Air Force's new conversion to the EF-111A electronic Aircraft. These aircraft were designed to attack electronic-equipped air defense systems including radar and missile launchers. With the new equipment, the wing slowly transitioned to the new system, though the 390th was the only of its type by the end of the cold war.

In 1984, the 39th Tactical Fighter Squadron was disbanded and the 35th Tactical Training Wing was activated in its place at George AFB in California. The new wing took over the old role of the squadron providing technical training on the McDonnell Douglas F-4E Interceptor along with providing training for West German Air Force pilots. The wing also provided advisor assistance to the Air National Guard along with providing an air defense element in its secondary role.

832nd Air Division[edit]

The 832nd Air Division was activated in 1980 when the former 'Tactical Training Bases' were re-organised into air divisions. The Tactical Training, Luke command subsequently became the 832nd Air Division with the division providing fighter crew training. The division also had a secondary role of providing both air defense in the Southwestern United States and training allied air crews.

The 58th Tactical Training Wing was based at Luke AFB in Arizona and provided combat air crew training not just to American pilots, but also to allied nations including the Luftwaffe, The Netherlands, Turkey, Norway, and Greece. From 1983 the wing converted from the McDonnell Douglas F-4C to the new General Dynamics F-16C/D and continued training with the aircraft. The wing's secondary role was to provide support personnel to Europe which it did in 1991 during Operation Desert Shield/Storm.

405th Tactical Training Wing[edit]

On 25 August 1979, the 405th Tactical Training Wing was activated at Luke AFB, Arizona by Tactical Air Command to consolidate the F-15 Eagle Replacement Training Unit (RTU) operations. It took over the 425th, 461st 550th and 555th Tactical Fighter Training Squadrons from the 58th Tactical Training Wing. The F-15As were replaced by the much more capable F-15C in January 1981 which was being delivered to front-line USAF combat squadrons.

833rd Air Division[edit]

The 833rd Air Division was activated in 1981, when it replaced Tactical Training, Holloman as the headquarters for TAC units stationed at Holloman. It trained pilots in the McDonnell F-15 Eagle and conducted fighter lead in training in the Northrop T-38 Talon. During Operation Desert Storm, most of its strength deployed to the Middle East, while activated reservists took their places at Holloman.

The 479th was reactivated as 479th Tactical Training Wing on 1 January 1977 at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, flying the Northrup AT-38 Talon. The 479th TTW's mission was to provide Lead-In Fighter Training (LIFT) training for pilots assigned to fly the spectrum of Air Force fighter and Aircraft in all service components (active, guard and reserve).

836th Air Division[edit]

The 836th Air Division was activated at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in January 1981, when it replaced Tactical Training, Davis-Monthan and assumed its personnel and equipment.[9] The division's operational component was the 355th Tactical Training Wing, flying Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, and the 836th Combat Support Group was assigned to provide support for all units at Davis-Monthan, including The Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center. The division was the Air Force focal point for A-10 aircraft tactics, training, employment and readiness. The division was also assigned the 868th Tactical Missile Training Squadron, which trained Air Force personnel on the BGM-109G Gryphon.

602nd Tactical Air Control Wing[edit]

In October 1976, the 602nd Tactical Air Control Group was raised to a wing, forming the new 602nd Tactical Air Control Wing (602 TAIRCW). The wing moved to Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona from Bergstrom AFB in Texas later in September 1982. On 1 October 1987, the 23rd Tactical Air Support Squadron (23 TASS) began receiving the new OA-10A, followed by the 22nd TASTS on June 15 1988. On 15 June 1992, as part of the reorganisation of the Air Force which saw the complete divesting of Air Control flying units, the wing was disbanded.[10]

Twenty-Third Air Force[edit]

Before 1983, USAF special operations forces (SOF) were primarily assigned to Tactical Air Command (TAC) and were generally deployed under the control of U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) or, as had been the case during the Vietnam War, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). Just as it had relinquished control of the C-130 theater airlift fleet to Military Airlift Command (MAC) in 1975, TAC relinquished control of Air Force SOF to MAC in December 1982.

Twenty-Third Air Force was established on 1 March 1983 at Scott AFB, Illinois, as an additional Numbered Air Force in MAC with responsibility for all Air Force SOF units, personnel, aircraft and installations as well as Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service (ARRS) and weather reconnaissance units, personnel and aircraft that were already extant in MAC. On 1 August 1987, Twenty-Third Air Force moved to Hurlburt Field, Florida. Twenty-Third Air Force later served as the core organization for the formation of Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). The Twenty-Third Air Force was inactivated on 22 May 1990 when AFSOC was established as an Air Force major command (MAJCOM).[17]

Air Rescue Service[edit]

In August 1989, ARRS was reorganized and re-established as the Air Rescue Service (ARS) at McClellan AFB, California, again as a subcommand to Military Airlift Command (MAC). However, following Operation DESERT STORM in 1991, subsequent major USAF reorganizations resulted in the disestablishment of Military Airlift Command, the divestment of its C-130 tactical/theater airlift assets to U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) and the newly created Air Combat Command (ACC), and the integration of its C-141 and C-5 strategic airlift assets with the KC-135 and KC-10 air refueling aircraft assets of the former Strategic Air Command (SAC) in order to create the new Air Mobility Command.[note 1]

The 375th Aeromedical Airlift Wing was the only dedicated aeromedical evacuation formation of the Air Force. The wing's role was to provide aeromedical evacuation and airlift via Civilian-designed aircraft (notably the McDonnell Douglas C-9A and Learjet C-21A). In 1990, the wing lost its special role and simply became the 375th Military Airlift Wing and its squadrons re-assigned elsewhere.
