Editing Holloman Air Force Base (section)

===49th Wing===
The [[49th Wing]] is the host unit at Holloman Air Force Base, supporting national security objectives with mission-ready [[MQ-9]] Reapers, Air Transportable Medical Clinic and BEAR (Base Expeditionary Airfield Resources) Base assets. The wing deploys combat-ready and mission-support forces supporting Air Expeditionary Force operations, Overseas Contingency Operations, and peacetime contingencies.

The [[49th Operations Group]] supports national security objectives, as directed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by utilizing the Air Force's MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft. The operational squadrons are:
* [[6th Attack Squadron]] (MQ-9)
* [[9th Attack Squadron]] (MQ-9)
* 16th Training Squadron (MQ-9)
* [[29th Attack Squadron]] (MQ-9)
* 49th Operations Support Squadron

The Operations Group took over the activities of the inactivated 37th Fighter Wing at [[Tonopah Test Range Airport]] when the [[F-117A]]s were transferred to Holloman in 1993. In addition to the 49th OG, other components of the 49th Wing are:
* 49th Maintenance Group: Maintains aircraft, propulsion, avionics and accessory systems for the F-16 C/D Fighting Falcon, T-38 Talon & MQ-9 Reaper.
* 49th Mission Support Group: Provides support to all base operations, personnel, and family members.
* 49th Medical Group: Provides medical services for active duty and retired military members and their families
* 49th Materiel Maintenance Group: Maintains and deploys all equipment needed to build a "BEAR base" airfield
* Detachment 1, 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron (From [[Tyndall AFB]], [[Florida]]): Maintains and operates Q[[F-16]] Full Scale Aerial Target (FSAT) drone aircraft (Tail Code HD).

In February 2006, the [[George W. Bush administration|Bush administration]] announced that Holloman would cease to be home to the [[F-117A]] Nighthawk. This move coincided with an announcement that the [[Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk|F-117]] will be removed from service on or about 2008. On 1 March 2006, it was announced by the United States Air Force that Holloman would be the new home of two squadrons of [[F-22 Raptor|F-22A Raptors]]. In May 2014, with the inactivation of the [[7th Fighter Squadron]], the F-22 mission ceased at Holloman. The Wing's F-22s were transferred to other F-22 wings to bolster their available aircraft.
