List of Air Force-controlled wings of the United States Air Force
This is a list of Air Force-controlled (AFCON) Wings of the United States Air Force.
The United States Air Force from c.1948 onward had two main types of wings and groups: AFCON, those controlled by Headquarters Air Force and usually having one, two, or three digits, and listed here; and Major Air Command-controlled (MAJCON) wings and groups, having four digits, controlled by Major Commands and listed at List of MAJCOM wings of the United States Air Force. After the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, Headquarters Air Force terminated the ability of the Major Commands to control their own wings and groups. Thus all USAF flying and combat wings now have three digits and are controlled by Headquarters Air Force. Most are designated in one series, 1-900s. However, there are exceptions, such as the several wings designated "1st," as well as the two wings designated "301st".
Air control and warning groups, like the 11th Air Control Wing, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, part of Alaskan Air Command; the predecessor of the 507th Tactical Air Control Wing, Shaw AFB, SC, under Tactical Air Command, designated the 507 C&C Group 15 July 1958; 507 TCG 1 July 1964; 507 TACG 15 June 1974; 507 TACW 1 October 1976. Redesignated 507 ACW 1 October 1991. Inactivated 12 June 1992; disbanded 8 September 1994.[1] which included 20th TASS, 1990–91; 703rd TASS, 1967–88; were numbered in a separate series.

The 25th Air Depot Wing was activated at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, on 27 October 1949 with Brigadier General Norris B. Harbold assigned as the wing commander. The mission of the wing was to provide depot maintenance and supply support to four combat wings, with its normal assignment to the Air Materiel and Service Division, or to Air Materiel and Service Force. The wing was integrated into the Ogden Air Materiel Area from July to December 1950.[74]
The 30th Air Depot Wing was located at RAF Sealand, but plans were made to relocate it to RAF Brize Norton, both in the UK.[75] Most assigned personnel of the 30th Air Depot Group were reassigned to the 7558th Air Depot Group of the 59th Air Depot Wing, effective from 26 November 1951. All staff sections of the 30th Air Depot Wing were dissolved, and a Consolidated Adjutant and Military Personnel Section was formed. 30th Air Depot Wing was relieved from assignment to the 59th Air Depot Wing effective 27 November 1951. 30th Air Depot Wing began operating as a tenant organization at RAF Sealand, with base support for the wing being provided by the 7558th Air Depot Group as of 27 November 1951. Jurisdiction of RAF Sealand was transferred from the 30th Air Depot Wing to the 7558th Air Depot Wing on 27 November 1951.
The 75th Air Depot Wing arrived in South Korea (Chinhae) on January 2, 1953, replacing the 6405th Air Support Wing. May have been disestablished in January 1956.
