The '''405th Air Expeditionary Wing (405 AEW)''' is a provisional [[United States Air Force]] unit assigned to [[Air Combat Command]].  It may be activated or inactivated at any time.

Currently, it is believed that the 405 AEW is inactive.

==History==
: ''For additional history and lineage, see [[405th Air Expeditionary Group]]''

===Cold War===
====Tactical Air Command====
Established on 1 December 1952 at [[Godman AFB]], Kentucky.  The '''405th Fighter-Bomber Wing''' was an active-duty replacement for the Federalized [[New Jersey Air National Guard]] [[108th Fighter-Bomber Wing]] which returned to state control after its activation during the Korean War.  The wing's 405th Fighter-Bomber Group was a reactivation of the [[IX Fighter Command]] 405th Fighter Group, which had fought in the ETO during World War II.

When activated the group redesignated the NJ ANG 141st, 149th and 153d Strategic Fighter Squadrons as the 509th, 510th, and 511th Fighter-Bomber Squadrons in numerical order. Initially equipped with F-47Ds and [[F-47N Thunderbolt]]s inherited from the Air National Guard, the 405th being the last active duty USAF Thunderbolt fighter Wing.

On 1 May 1953, the F-47s were withdrawn and sent to AMARC, and the 405th was reassigned to Langley AFB, Virginia due to the programmed closing of Godman AFB on 1 September.  At Langley, the 405th replaced the provisional 4430th Air Base Wing and was re-equipped with Republic [[F-84F Thunderstreak]] jet aircraft. Also attached to the group was the [[422d Bombardment Squadron]] with [[B-26 Invader]] light bombers (1 May – 20 December 1953) and the [[429th Air Refueling Squadron]] (19 July 1954 – 8 October 1957) with [[KB-29 Superfortress]] tankers.  Operations included gunnery and bombardment training, firepower demonstrations, weapons delivery training, and numerous tactical exercises, 1952–1958, plus air refueling, 1954–1958.

====Pacific Air Forces====
[[File:72d Tactical Fighter Squadron - F-100D-25-NA 55-3610.jpg|thumb|North American F-100D-25-NA 55-3610 at Clark AB, 1959]]
The wing was reassigned to [[Pacific Air Forces]] in April 1959, replacing the PACAF 6200th Air Base Wing at [[Clark AB]], Philippines.  This was part of a general buildup of USAF tactical forces in the Southwest Pacific, as Clark in the postwar era was largely a maintenance and supply depot, and the signing of a new Status of Forces agreement with the Philippine Government with regards to Clark AB.

Re-designated as the '''405th Fighter Wing''', the wing provided host mission duties at Clark as well as air defense and offensive fighter operations in the Philippines, Taiwan, and other Far Eastern points, April 1959 – June 1962.  Initially the transferred [[509th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron]] operated [[F-86D Sabre]] interceptors in an air defense mission, being replaced by [[F-102 Delta Dagger]] interceptors in 1960.

The [[510th Tactical Fighter Squadron]] inherited the [[F-100D Super Sabre]]s of the inactivated 72d TFS in a defensive fighter-bomber mission. It began a series of rotational deployments to Chai-Yi Air Base, Taiwan in July 1959 to defend Taiwan as part of an ongoing USAF defense mission after the [[1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis]].

In 1964 the 510th was reassigned back to the United States at [[England Air Force Base]], Louisiana. It was replaced by the [[90th Tactical Fighter Squadron]], which was attached to the 401st by the TAC [[834th Air Division]] at England in November 1965 for a 6-month TDY and returned to England in May 1966.

=====Vietnam War=====
Beginning in 1962, the 510th Tactical Fighter Squadron began deployments to [[Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base]], Thailand, providing air defense training for [[Royal Thai Air Force]] personnel, as well as to try to restrain the Communist [[Pathet Lao]] which were busily overrunning most of northwestern Laos.

From mid-1962 until the end of the conflict in Southeast Asia, the wing frequently deployed assigned and attached components to bases in Southeast Asia for air defense and combat operations under operational control of other organizations. When not so involved, components trained in air defense and other tactical exercises in Taiwan and the Philippines.

======B-57B light bombers======

In April 1964, the situation in Indochina led to orders for the PACAF [[41st Air Division]] [[B-57B Canberra]] 8th and 13th Bombardment Squadrons to be reassigned from rotational nuclear "quick strike" alert in South Korea to [[Thirteenth Air Force]] at [[Clark AB]] for possible tactical bombardment missions against communist aggressor forces in [[South Vietnam]].  On 9 April 1965, the first Canberras of the 13th Bomb Squadron began arriving at Clark; the 8th began arriving on 17 April.  By the end of the month all 47 of the former 3d Bomb Wing's aircraft arrived in the Philippines.  The squadrons were formally assigned to Headquarters 13th Air Force, however they were attached to the 405th Wing for administrative and logistical support.<ref name=":0">Mikesh, pp. 68, 70</ref>

During the summer of 1964, a war of nerves was taking place between the United States, North and South Vietnam.  United States ground forces were present in South Vietnam, officially in an advisory role to the [[Army of the Republic of Vietnam]] (ARVN) at the invitation of the South Vietnamese government.  United States forces could not attack communist forces unless provoked by aggressive action of the communist [[Viet Cong]], or in some cases, by [[North Vietnamese Army]] (NVA) ground units in the South.<ref name=":0" />

On the night of 2 August 1964 the [[Gulf of Tonkin incident]] occurred in which North Vietnamese gunboats directly clashed with [[United States Navy]] destroyers.  At Clark, the base went on alert and the atmosphere was that of a wartime appearance.  Fighter Squadrons were deploying to USAF bases in Thailand, and transports began shipping supplies and equipment to South Vietnamese bases used by the United States.  The two B-57 squadrons went on alert and on 5 August the squadrons were notified to deploy 20 B-57Bs of the 8th and 13th BS to [[Bien Hoa Air Base]] near [[Saigon]].  This would mark the first deployment of jet combat aircraft to Vietnam.<ref name=":0" />

However, this was technically a violation of the [[Geneva Conference (1954)|Geneva Protocols]] which forbade the introduction of jet combat aircraft to Vietnam.<ref>Mikesh, p. 74</ref> To abide by the Geneva protocols, both squadrons rotated frequently over the next four years first to [[Bien Hoa AB]], then to later [[Tan Son Nhut AB]].  In November 1964, both squadrons were transferred from 13th AF control to the 405th Fighter Wing at Clark.<ref name="b57sVN">Martin B-57 Canberra—The Complete Record, Robert C. Mikesh, Schiffer Military/Aviation History, 1995.</ref>

Rotations were moved to [[Da Nang AB]] in June 1965 to facilitate attacks in Laos and [[North Vietnam]], but high attrition rates over the North led to the movement to [[Phan Rang AB]] on the South Central coast in June 1966.  Finally, in October 1966 the [[35th Tactical Fighter Wing]] was moved to [[Phan Rang AB]] and took over the units on a permanent basis.<ref>Mikesh, pp. 90, 105</ref>

In late December 1972, the 13th Bombardment Squadron returned to the 405th from the [[8th Tactical Fighter Wing]] at [[Ubon RTAFB]], Thailand with B-57G Canberras, which were B-57B that had been returned to Martin in 1969 and modified as night intruders for use in Vietnam in September 1970 under a project known as Tropic Moon.  The B-57s, however were transferred almost immediately back to the United States and assigned to the [[190th Bombardment Group]] (Tactical) of the [[Kansas Air National Guard]] at [[Forbes AFB]].  The 13th Bomb Squadron remained assigned to the wing as an administrative unit until it was inactivated on 30 September 1973.

======South Vietnam B-57 program ======
In 1964, the United States secretly agreed to supply a few B-57Bs to the [[Republic of Vietnam Air Force]]. The United States had initially been reluctant to equip the Vietnamese Air Force with jet aircraft, since this would be a technical violation of the Geneva Accords and might further escalate the war. However, the US had already equipped other friendly nations in the region with jet aircraft, and pressure from the government leadership in [[Saigon]] coupled with a need to boost the sagging morale of the South Vietnamese people, led to a change of heart.

The first VNAF B-57 crews began training in secret with 405th aircraft at Clark AB later in 1964.  One of the students was none other than [[Nguyen Cao Ky]], the commander of the VNAF and later president of the Republic of Vietnam.  As the crews completed their training at Clark, they went to [[Da Nang Air Base]] and flew combat missions with the 405th's 8th or 13th Bombardment Squadrons, whichever happened to be on station at the time. To gain combat experience, each new crewmember flew with an American pilot or navigator, whichever the case may be.  Eventually, the VNAF crew members flew in VNAF-marked B-57s, but their combat missions always remained strictly under USAF operational control.

The South Vietnamese government felt at this stage that the VNAF B-57 program should be given some more visibility, and to celebrate Vietnamese Armed Forces Day, on 29 October 1965, five B-57s from the 8th Bombardment Squadron, then based at Da Nang AB, were repainted with VNAF insignia and carried out an air strike against a suspected [[Viet Cong]] stronghold and landed [[Tan Son Nhut Air Base]]. After landing, the planes took off again and joined other VNAF aircraft in a formation flyover of Saigon. Although manned solely by American crews, this attack was heralded as the introduction of VNAF B-57s into combat.

However, Republic of Vietnam Air Force pilots had severe difficulties operating the B-57.  Vietnamese crews suddenly began to complain of various illnesses, which grounded many trainees and brought their training to a standstill. In addition, on 8 January 1966 a B-57 was destroyed in a training accident, further lowering morale. Some Vietnamese crews flatly stated that they could not physically perform the maneuvers required in the B-57. To make matters even worse, Major Nguyen Ngoc Bien, the leader of the VNAF B-57 program, was killed in a freak ground accident on 23 February 1966 at Da Nang. The death of Major Bien, who was well-liked and well-respected by both Vietnamese and Americans, resulted in a complete loss of any incentive for the Vietnamese crewmen to stay with the B-57, and from this point on there was very little Vietnamese activity in the B-57 program. On 20 April 1967, the VNAF B-57 operation was formally terminated.

======F-102 interceptors======
[[File:64th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron - Clark AB PI 1967.jpg|thumb|64th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron – Convair F-102A-60-CO Delta Dagger 56-1064, Clark AB PI, 1967]]
Flights of F-102 interceptors from the 509th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron began to deploy to [[Tan Son Nhut AB]] in March 1962 to provide air defense against the unlikely event that North Vietnamese aircraft would attack the South.  They also deployed to [[Don Muang RTAFB]] near [[Bangkok, Thailand]] and began exchanging rotational duty with the 16th FIS based at [[Naha AB]] on [[Okinawa]].  In 1965, operating under the code-name "Project Stovepipe", 509th FIS F-102s used their heat sinking Falcon missiles to lock onto heat sources over the [[Ho Chi Minh Trail]] at night, often [[Viet Cong]] campfires. The F-102s soon switched to a day role, firing the 12 unguided FFAR rockets from the missile bays, using the optical sight. 618-day sorties were flown, the last one being flown at the end of 1965.

The [[Air Defense Command]] [[64th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron]] was deployed from the [[25th Air Division]] at [[Paine Field]], Washington to Clark AB and assigned to the 405th on 10 June 1966 to supplement the F-102 mission in Southeast Asia as well as provide air defense for the Philippines.  F-102s stood rotational alert at TDYs Bien Hoa and Da Nang Air Bases in South Vietnam and at Udorn and Don Muang Air Bases in Thailand.  The F-102A was finally withdrawn from Southeast Asia in December 1969 with the phaseout of the aircraft from the USAF inventory, also the clear lack of need for a dedicated air defense interceptor over South Vietnam.  The F-102A established an excellent safety record during its duty in Vietnam. In almost seven years of flying air defense and a few combat air patrols for SAC B-52s, only 15 F-102As were lost.

======C-130 Tactical Airlift======
[[File:463d Tactical Airlift Wing 29th TAS Lockheed C-130B-LM Hercules 61-0969 July 1969 at Cam Rahn Bay AB Souh Vietnam.jpg|thumb|463d TAW 29th TAS Lockheed C-130B-LM Hercules 61-0969 at Cam Rahn Bay AB South Vietnam, July 1969]]
In July 1968, the [[315th Air Division]] reassigned the [[463d Tactical Airlift Wing]] from Mactan Isle Airfield to Clark AB, and it became a tenant unit under the 405th.  The 463d was responsible for operating a [[C-130 Hercules]] combat airlift support unit at Tan Son Nhut AB, South Vietnam, and also flew combat support missions within South Vietnam landing and dropping off supplies, equipment and personnel at forward locations throughout the country.  It operated three squadrons of C-130s performing rotational deployments to and from Clark, bringing back wounded personnel with aeromedical airlifts, the aircraft returning to South Vietnam filled with combat supplies and equipment.  This mission continued until 31 December 1971 when the wing was inactivated as part of the Vietnam drawdown.  The 774th Tactical Airlift Squadron remained assigned to the 405th, providing tactical airlift within the Southwest Pacific until 15 September 1972.

=====Post-Vietnam era=====
[[File:F-4D Detachment of the 90th Tactical Fighter Squadron at CCK Air Base, Taiwan.jpg|thumb| F-4D Detachment of the [[90th Tactical Fighter Squadron|90th TFS]], 405th FW at [[Ching Chuan Kang Air Base|CCK Air Base]], [[Taiwan]], 1974]]
[[File:3d Tactical Fighter Squadron McDonnell Douglas F-4E-49-MC Phantom 71-1073.jpg|thumb|McDonnell Douglas F-4E-49-MC Phantom 71-1073. Originally assigned to the 90th TFS at [[Clark AB]] , [[Philippines]]]]

The [[1st Test Squadron]] conducted weapons system evaluation (COMBAT SAGE) of repaired battle-damaged [[F-4 Phantom II]]s from 30 April 1970 until the end of the [[Vietnam War]].  It remained assigned to the 405th until the wing's re-designation in September 1974.

The [[90th Tactical Fighter Squadron]] returned to Clark and the 405th on 15 December 1972 after being withdrawn from the [[18th Tactical Fighter Wing]] at [[Nha Trang Air Base]], South Vietnam as part of the Vietnam drawdown.  Flew [[F-4E Phantom II]]s also until the 405th's re-designation in September 1974.

During July–August 1972, provided extensive flood relief to Philippine areas inundated by monsoon rains. During February–March 1973, provided medical, logistical, and administrative support for former prisoners of war, on their way to the United States from [[North Vietnam]]. With the end of the USAF presence in South Vietnam, the wing was re-designated as the [[3d Tactical Fighter Wing]] in September 1974<ref>Endicott (unpaginated)</ref> to retain the history of the senior unit after its standdown as part of the closure of Bien Hoa AB.

The 405th Fighter Wing also deployed an [[F-4 Phantom II|McDonnell F-4 Phantom II]] contingent in [[Tainan Air Base]], [[Taiwan]]. Until July 1974, The main mission is to assist Taiwan’s air defense, as well as the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

====Tactical Training Wing====

[[File:405 Tactical Training Wg gaggle.jpg|thumb|405 TTW Unit Emblem]]On 25 August 1979, the [[405th Tactical Training Wing]] was activated at [[Luke AFB, Arizona]] by [[Tactical Air Command]] to consolidate the [[F-15 Eagle]] Replacement Training Unit (RTU) operations.  It took over the 425th, 461st 550th and 555th Tactical Fighter Training Squadrons from the [[58th Tactical Training Wing]].  The F-15As were replaced by the much more capable F-15C in January 1981 which was being delivered to front-line USAF combat squadrons.

With the upgrading to the F-15C, the lowest-hour F-15As were transferred to the 426th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron which converted from [[F-4 Phantom II]].  The 426th provided F-15A interceptor training specifically to support the TAC Air Defense Command (ADTAC) training mission inherited from the inactivated [[Aerospace Defense Command]] which was merged into TAC.  The F-15As in front-line units were being reassigned to Air Defense duty with ADTAC.

On 19 November 1990, the 555th TFTS changed its course from air superiority combat training with the Eagle to air defense interceptor training with the F-15C when TAC began assigning F-15Cs to Air National Guard interceptor duty and phasing out the F-15A all together, the 426th being inactivated.

The 461st TFTS received first [[F-15E Strike Eagle]], July 1988, and the 550th TFTS became the second F-15E Strike Eagle training squadron in March 1989.

On 1 October 1991, due to the implementation of the Objective Wing at Luke and the "One base, one wing" policy, the 405th TTW was shut down and the F-15s were reassigned back to the 58th TTW.

===Twenty-first century===
Reactivated as an Air Expeditionary Wing after the [[September 11 terrorist attacks]] in 2001 attacks as part of [[USCENTAF]].  Carried out operations over the [[Horn of Africa]], during the [[War in Afghanistan (2001-present)]] and the [[War in Iraq]] from 2002 based at [[RAFO Thumrait]]. Flew B-1, AWACS, KC-135, and RC-135 aircraft, and possibly others.
