The 910th Airlift Wing (910 AW) is a wing of the United States Air Force based at Youngstown-Warren Air Reserve Base, Ohio. 910th Airlift Wing's mission is to ensure the organization and individual members can perform command authority directed taskings in support of national objectives by providing mission ready forces, airlift and aerial spray operations and base operating support.

History

The 910th participated in tactical exercises, airlift operations, and joint operations with Army airborne forces in U.S. and overseas, 1963-1969. The group trained as a forward air control unit, 1970-1971; as a special operations group, 1971-1973; and as a fighter group, 1973-1981. It converted again to an airlift mission in 1981.

The 910th periodically deployed to Panama to support Air Force missions in Central and South America, beginning in 1983. It has trained to airdrop and airland personnel and materiel and added an aerial spraying mission in January 1992. It has deployed personnel and equipment worldwide to support contingency operations, exercises, and humanitarian missions.
