FACT SHEET
507th Air Refueling Wing
The 507th Air Refueling Wing is the largest Air Force Reserve Command flying unit in the state of Oklahoma. The 507th ARW, operating out of Tinker Air Force Base, reports to Fourth Air Force and performs daily missions both locally and around the world in support of Air Mobility Command and U.S. Strategic Command’s national emergency war order requirements. The 507th regularly supports overseas deployments in times of peace, war and national emergency. It also supports Federal Aviation Administration flight inspection requirements, as well as C-17, KC-135 — and in the future, KC-46 — training requirements at a geographically separated unit at Altus Air Force Base, Okla.

Today, the 507th ARW consists of three subordinate groups, 11 squadrons and one flight. It employs more than 1,100 men and women. The 507th ARW is made up of citizen Airmen and many live and work in Oklahoma communities, in addition to their reserve commitment in the unit. Approximately 200 members of the 507th are traditional civilian employees or dual status Air Reserve Technicians who serve as a support cadre.
The 507th ARW is one of the more diverse Air Force Reserve units in existence. The wing operates and maintains eight KC-135R “Stratotanker” aircraft, providing worldwide aerial refueling to U.S. military and NATO aircraft. Reservists fly three to four missions daily and offload millions of pounds of fuel in support of operations worldwide. The 507th ARW flies over 4,000 hours annually supporting national defense taskings.
Additionally, the wing serves as the peacetime personnel and support backbone for the 513th Air Control Group (ACC), the Air Force Reserve’s only associate E-3 Sentry Airborne and Warning Control System (AWACS) unit, the 1st Aviation Standards Flight and the 35th Combat Communications Squadron (AFSPC). Expeditionary medical support rounds out the wing to make it one of the Reserve Command’s most valuable assets.
513th Air Control Group
The 513th Air Control Group’s mission is to provide theater and Air Force commanders with trained aircrews and maintenance personnel and systems for airborne surveillance, warning and control of U.S. and allied military aircraft.

The group was activated at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, in 1996, becoming the first Air Combat Command associate organization. The Air Force Reserve’s associate program merges Reserve units with active-duty units at Air Force bases throughout the United States. The program, which began in 1968, creates Reserve units that share joint use of active-duty aircraft and equipment for training and work directly with active duty personnel.

Reservists fly the same missions, establish autonomous Reserve units and maintain the same professional standards as their active-duty counterparts. Associate unit aircrews fly daily on missions throughout the world. The flexibility of the associate program allows a Reserve aircrew member to fly as part of an active-duty crew or with an all-Reserve crew. Associate units also provide aircraft maintenance personnel to maintain the aircraft.

The 513th's subordinate units include the 970th Airborne Air Control Squadron, the 513th Operations Support Squadron, the 513th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and the 513th Maintenance Squadron.
552nd Air Control Wing
