It was established on 1 November 1963 and inactivated on 25 June 1966.

Throughout its existence it was in provisional status, controlled by Strategic Air Command. Throughout its existence also it was subordinate to the Fifteenth Air Force, 18th Strategic Aerospace Division and stationed at Elmendorf AFB

The wing provided host station support functions primarily for SAC wing and support elements deployed to Alaska during REFLEX deployments from United States bases. Its major subordinate unit was the 73d Munitions Maintenance Squadron.

It was inactivated in 1966 when SAC moved out of Elmendorf and phased out operations in Alaska.
