137th Air Refueling Wing
The 137th Air Refueling Wing is a unit of the Oklahoma Air National Guard with facilities at both Tinker Air Force Base and Will Rogers Air National Guard Base, Oklahoma. If activated to federal service, the wing is gained by Air Mobility Command. During World War II, its predecessor, the 404th Fighter Group, flying Republic P-47 Thunderbolts, provided close air support to troops following the Operation Overlord, the Normandy landing until the close of the war. The wing is entitled to the honors won by the group by temporary bestowal.
The wing was activated during the Korean War and deployed to France. The unit later engaged in strategic and tactical airlift before being redesignated as an air refueling wing.
== Overview ==
The 137th Air Refueling Wing's KC-135 Stratotanker mission is to provide the core aerial refueling capability for the U.S. Air Force and the Air Guard. This unique aircraft enhances the Air Force's capability to accomplish its primary missions of Global Reach and Global Power. It also provides aerial refueling support to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and allied nation aircraft. The KC-135 is capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations.
The wing is associated with the 507th Air Refueling Wing. Under this Air Force Reserve Command - Air National Guard Guard associate organization, the 507th is the host wing with all 12 KC-135 aircraft. The Oklahoma Air National Guard maintains separate administrative and operational control of the wing, but it is associated with the 507th, working together to fly and maintain all aircraft. For deployable tasking, both wings will function with six primary aircraft assigned. However the wing is in the process of converting to a special operations mission and returning to Will Rogers Air National Guard Base.
