POST-WORLD WAR II DEPLOYMENTS & EXERCISES

The accompanying maps provide a visual presentation of many of the deployment areas. For the operations in Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia (Gulf War), maps are provided integrally in Chapters XX and XXI, respectively. A map showing the postWW II assignments for the 2nd Bombardment Group/wing and bases stateside deployments is also contained in this appendix.

THE DAVIS-MoNTHAN/CHATHAMIHUNTER YEARS

Almost immediately upon transitioning into a new aircraft type the 2nd Bombardment Wing began participating in SACdirected overseas deployments. Between 1948 and 1956, the unit transitioned into four types of bombers and three types of tankers; and made ten major deployments as a wing, coupled with several smaller deployments, before SAC went to the REFLEX type deployments by a limited number of aircraft and crews. A summary of these operations from when the Group/wing was stationed at Davis-Monthan, Chatham, and Hunter AFBs follows:

After the paper move from Hunter AFB to Barksdale AFB in April 1963, the 2d Bombardment Wing immediately began tanker support operations. During the Southeast Asia War, aircraft and crews, and individual crews repeatedly deployed to be part of the provisional wings in the theater; while others participated in the Spanish Tanker Task Force and CHROME DOME operations. Some of these operations are listed below:

Many of the exercises and deployments involving the 2d Bomb Wing were classified and remain so today. As a consequence, this partial listing will only give a hint as to the magnitude of Wing operations during the years it flew B-52s, KC-135s, and KC-I0s. By way of illustration, the aircraft and crews of the 2d Bomb Wing participated in a combined total of 159 exercises during 1980. Tankers flew 111 exercises and bombers flew 48, but the 1980 unclassified Wing history lists only 12. Some of these operations involved deployments. Others were en route tanker support for another unit's deployment. Those operations known to have been deployments are marked by an asterix (*).
