The Tennessee Air National Guard works with the United States Air Force and the National Guard Bureau to deploy and conduct operations throughout the world.
Tennessee has the distinction of having three flying wings: the 134th Air Refueling Wing in Nashville, the 134th Air Refueling Wing in Knoxville, and the 164th Airlift Wing in Memphis.
The 164th Airlift Wing was activated December 23, 1946, as the 155th Fighter Squadron. The assigned aircraft was the F-51 Fighter. On April 1, 1951, the unit was designated as a Tactical Reconnaissance squadron, utilizing the same aircraft. During this same period, the 155th was activated for the Korean conflict.
The 155th returned to state control as a night photo unit on January 1, 1953. The type of aircraft received for this mission was the RB-26.
The unit was designated as a photo jet organization on April 1, 1956. The RF-84 jet was received to be used in this mission.
In April 1961 the 164th Military Aircraft Group was activated as parent unit, and the 155th was designated as a military squadron. At this time, the unit received the C-97, which was a converted SAC tanker. Conversion to this aircraft brought worldwide mission to such places as Europe, Japan, South America, Australia, and South Vietnam.
In May 1967 the unit received the C-124 (Old Shakey). Old Shakey was retired from military service in 1974 and replaced by the C-130.
The mission remained military airlift but with tactical airlift capabilities. In 1975 the 164th was designated as the 164th Tactical Airlift Group.
During Desert Storm several units of the 164th were activated. The 164th Mobile Aerial Port Squadron was the first Air Guard Aerial Port unit activated. They served a six month tour in the desert.
The C-130 aircraft were retired in April 1992 when the unit received the first of eight C-141B Starlifter aircraft. With this conversion came the strategic airlift mission and the designation of the 164th Airlift Group. The unit was designated the 164th Airlift Wing on 1 October 1995.
