The 27th Special Operations Wing (27 SOW) is a wing of the United States Air Force stationed at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. It is assigned to the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). The mission of the 27 SOW includes infiltration, exfiltration and resupply of special operations forces; air refueling of special operations rotary wing and tiltrotor aircraft; and precision fire support. These capabilities support a variety of special operations missions including direct action, unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, personnel recovery, psychological operations and information operations. The 27 SOW also is responsible for the Melrose Range, an air training range near the neighboring town of Melrose, New Mexico. The Wing's origins date to 1939 as the 27th Bombardment Group. The group fought in the Pacific Ocean and Mediterranean, Middle East and African theatres. Its ground personnel fought as infantry in the 1941–1942 Battle of Bataan with the survivors being forced to march as prisoners in the Bataan Death March. Its air echelon went on to be awarded five Distinguished Unit Citations and a Philippine Presidential Unit Citation. The Airmen of the 27th were among the most decorated USAAF units of the war. The 27th Special Operations Group carries the lineage and history of its highly decorated World War II predecessor unit. The commander of the 27th Special Operations Wing is Colonel Benjamin Maitre. ==Units== * 27th Special Operations Group (27 SOG) : 3d Special Operations Squadron (3 SOS) - MQ-1 Predator : 16th Special Operations Squadron (16 SOS) - AC-130H Spectre : 20th Special Operations Squadron (20 SOS) - CV-22A Osprey : 26th Special Tactics Squadron : 27th Special Operations Support Squadron (27 SOSS) : 33d Special Operations Squadron (33 SOS) - MQ-9 Predator : 73d Special Operations Squadron (73 SOS) - AC-130W Stinger II : 318th Special Operations Squadron (318 SOS) - PC-12 : 522d Special Operations Squadron (522 SOS) - MC-130J Commando II : 524th Special Operations Squadron (524th SOS) - C-146A : 551st Special Operations Squadron (551st SOS) - Formal Training Unit (FTU) for AC-130H, AC-130W, MC-130J, CV-22A : Det. 1, 25th Intelligence Squadron (Det 1 25 IS) * 27th Special Operations Mission Support Group (27 SOMSG) : 27th Special Operations Logistics Readiness Squadron : 27th Special Operations Force Support Squadron : 27th Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron : 27th Special Operations Contracting Squadron : 27th Special Operations Security Forces Squadron : 27th Special Operations Communications Squadron 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「27th Special Operations Wing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
