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 134th Air Refueling Wing is located at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Unit received Federal recognition in December 1957 as an Air Defense Command unit equipped with F-86 aircraft, and it performed an Air Defense Command daylight alert commitment until July 1960, when it converted to the F-104 aircraft. In January 1961, the 134th assumed a twenty-four hour per day alert commitment until the unit was activated during the Berlin Crisis in November, 1961.
During the Berlin call-up, while stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the unit set a U.S. Air Force, Europe, jet fighter monthly flying record of 836 hours with its seventeen F-104 aircraft. The 134th returned to state status in August 1962.
In March 1963, the F-104 aircraft were reassigned to the active duty Air Force and the 134th converted to the F-102 aircraft. The 134th achieved combat ready status and passed an Operational Readiness Inspection in the F- 102 six months after starting the transition.
Another aircraft conversion occurred in April 1964, the fifth in less than seven years, when the 134th received the KC-97G and changed to Tactical Air Command. Having no previously qualified KC-97 aircrew or maintenance personnel assigned, the 134th became the first KC-97 unit to achieve C-2 status in only eight months after receipt of the aircraft. The previous conversion time was two years.
After conversion to the KC-97, the unit participated in numerous CONUS, Southeast Asia, South American, and European deployments.
Effective July 1976, the unit converted from Tactical Air Command to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and the KC-135A aircraft.
The unit flew 177 sorties and offloaded 4.5 million pounds of fuel in Operation Desert Shield.
During Operation Desert Storm, one hundred nine members of the unit were activated and deployed to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. There the unit was part of the 1713th Air Refueling Wing, Provisional, commanded by Colonel Frederick H. Forster of the 134th ARW. During Operation Desert Storm, the 1713th ARW(P) flew 568 sorties and off loaded millions of pounds of fuel to combat and support aircraft.
60 personnel and three planes from the 134th Air Refueling Wing were sent overseas to support the NATO Operation Allied Force in Kosovo in April 1999.
The 134th ARW operates KC-135E Stratotanker aircraft in world wide support of the U. S. Air Force. The unit provides air-to-air refueling to all types of U.S. Air Force bomber, fighter, airlift, and support aircraft, plus many NATO aircraft.
