1955 marked the year that the base became a permanent Air Force installation and many new services were implemented.
Delivery of the B-52H to operational units began on May 9, 1961 when the 379th Bombardment Wing at Wurtsmith AFB in Michigan received its first aircraft.
Delivery of the B-52 operational bomber named "State of Michigan" marked the redesignation to the base from and fighter-interceptor training base to the Strategic Air Command and its long range B-52's, which played an important part in "Desert Storm", in the
Persian Gulf.
In November 1989, the Air Force announced the selection of seven bases to house Peacekeeper Rail Garrison.
The Main Operating Base would be F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming, and the other six bases were Barksdale AFB, Louisiana; Little Rock
AFB, Arkansas; Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota; Dyess AFB, Texas; Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan; and Fairchild AFB, Washington.
December 1992 was the date established for delivery of the first asset. The program was terminated in 1991.

B-52 Stratofortress / KC-135 Tankers On July 1, 1961, it was redesignated 19th Bomb Wing (Heavy) and began converting to B-52s.
The official Air Force Wing History states, "It moved without personnel or equipment to Robins AFB, Georgia, on July 25, 1968 and absorbed resources of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
" This is simply a complicating way of saying that the old 19th was discontinued and another wing was given it numeric designation.
It didn't keep all the planes very long. SAC was then in the process of establishing [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and the 19th lost four squadrons to them.
This left the 19th with one squadron of B-52s. It was, in effect, a strategic wing, but was not redesignated as such.
Vietnam
Furnished B–52 and KC–135 aircraft and crews to other SAC organizations involved in combat operations in Southeast Asia, and late
in 1972 the wing headquarters reduced to a small housekeeping unit because of personnel deployments.
Regained KC–135 and B–52 aircraft and crews and resumed normal operations in Nov 1973.
Later Years
Won the Omaha Trophy as the "outstanding wing in SAC" for 1981.
Redesignated an air refueling wing on 1 Oct 1983, began worldwide aerial refueling missions for various operations and exercises, and supported the European Tanker Task Force. Flew aerial refueling missions supporting the rescue efforts in Grenada, 23–24 Oct 1983.
Beginning in 1984, provided two EC–135 aircraft and crews to support the United States Central Command’s mission in Southwest Asia.
With conversion to KC–135R aircraft, gained the additional missions of supporting the Pacific and Alaska Tanker Task Forces in Mar 1988, and the Caribbean Tanker Task Force in Mar 1990.
Wing aircraft and crews set sixteen world aviation records in the "Time to Climb Event" on 19 Nov 1988.
Flew aerial refueling missions for the invasion of Panama, 18–21 Dec 1989.
Deployed KC/EC–135 aircraft and personnel to Southwest Asia, Aug 1990–Mar 1991, to provide aerial refueling and transport of cargo, and command, control and communications aircraft. Starting 1 Jan 1992, provided an EC–137 and crews to support the United States
