The Japan Air Material Area was an Air Material Area at Tachikawa Air Base that was replaced by the Far East Air Materiel Command (FEAMCOM). FEAMCOM assumed its title at Fuchu Air Station, Japan, after January 1947. In July 1949 FEAMCOM was moved again to Tachikawa Air Base. It operated six installations at Tama, Yanada, Iwahara, Kisarazu, and Iwo Jima.[1] The 13th Air Depot Wing and FEAMCOM were consolidated into one organization on 1 November 1949. From 1 February 1952, a command reorganization took effect. The 13th Group at FEAMCOM Air Base was inactivated, and the 6400th Depot Wing was activated. This left FEAMCOM with two depot wings (the 6400th and 6418th) in Japan, one depot wing (the 6208th) in the Philippines, and its headquarters in Japan.
