Example: Little Rock Air Force Base
- Little Rock Air Force Base is a great example of multiple wings on one base. The host wing is the 19th Airlift Wing (AMC). The 19 AW Commander is the IC. The base also hosts the 314th Airlift Wing (AETC), and the 189th Airlift Wing (National Guard, AETC). To continue, LRAFB also hosts the 29th Weapons Squadron (ACC), and the 96 Aerial Port Squadron (AFRC). There is a lot going on here.

Air Force Organizational Structure Basic
- Because there are bases with more than one Wing, the Wing definition should read: WING: Two or more groups compose a Wing. There is only one host Wing on an Air Force base, and the Wing Commander is quite often considered to be the "Installation Commander." Other Wings may reside at the base as a Tenant organization of the base. There are two types of Wings: Composite and Objective.
