===Tactical Fighter Wing=== The [[366th Tactical Fighter Wing]] arrived on 15 July 1963, making Holloman a [[Tactical Air Command]] (TAC) operating base.<ref name="366th Fighter Wing Fact Sheet">{{cite web|title=366th Fighter Wing Fact Sheet|url=http://www.afhra.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/432078/366-fighter-wing-acc/|website=Air Force Historical Research Agency|publisher=USAF|access-date=3 November 2016}}</ref>{{r|Mueller}} On 8 April 1966, the '''4758th Defense Systems Evaluation Squadron''' (DSES) arrived from [[Biggs AFB]] [[Texas]]. The squadron evaluated aircraft weapons systems and to provide training for air defense units. Aircraft flown by the 4758th DSES were the [[B-57 Canberra]] and [[F-100 Super Sabre]]. On 31 October 1970 the squadron was merged with the 4677th DSES at [[Tyndall AFB]] [[Florida]]. On 1 August 1970, per Air Force Systems Command Special Order G-94, the [[Air Force Missile Development Center]] was inactivated. TAC assumed host responsibilities for Holloman Air Force Base. Associate units and programs transferred to other locations within [[Air Force Systems Command]]. The Test & Evaluation activities that remained were the Central Inertial Guidance Test Facility (CIGTF), the [[Holloman High Speed Test Track|High Speed Test Track]], the Radar Target Scatter Facility (RATSCAT), and the Target Drone Facility. These organizations were combined to form the nucleus of a Holloman AFB tenant organization, the '''6585th Test Group''', with the Air Force Special Weapons Center (AFSWC) at [[Kirtland Air Force Base]], New Mexico, designated as the headquarters for the Test Group. In 1975, AFSWC was disestablished, and the 6585th Test Group at Holloman became part of the '''Armament Development and Test Center (ADTC)''' at [[Eglin AFB]] [[Florida]].
