As of Oct. 1, MacDill’s host wing will transition from the 6th Air Mobility Wing Events, Chapel, more... to the 6th ARW, maintaining its dedication to delivering unmatched air refueling. NEWS/FEATURES 6th Air Refueling Wing redesignation by Airman 1st Class Ryan C. Grossklag 6th Air Refueling Wing Team MacDill held a redesignation ceremony commencing the transition of the 6th Air Mobility Wing to the 6th Air Refueling Wing Monday. The new designation became official Tuesday. The event, held at the community park, marks the host wing’s first redesignation since the 6th AMW moved to MacDill Air Force Base from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska in 1993. The change comes with the departure of MacDill’s C-37A Gulfstream jets and the deactivation of the historic 310th Airlift Squadron. “With the deactivation of the 310th, our wing’s sole air operations mis- sion is once again, air refueling,” said Col. Stephen Snelson, the 6th ARW commander, speaking to the attending crowd. “Our name may be new, but our mission is still delivering unmatched air refueling, and installation and mission support.” Snelson spoke of the history of MacDill and the wings that have come and gone over the years, but assured the crowd that the presiding focus remained the same.
