In addition, American built Curtiss P-36 Hawk, Martin Maryland and Douglas DB-7 light bombers provided by President Roosevelt's "Cash and carry" program were stationed at Évreux.

With the fall of France, the Luftwaffe took up residence at Évreux, flying Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Junkers Ju 88 aircraft during the Battle of Britain.

Évreux was heavily bombed and attacked by Allied fighters and bombers, especially those of the USAAF Eighth and Ninth Air Forces.

With the outbreak of the Cold War in the late 1940s, with the Berlin Airlift and the ongoing threat from the Soviet Union to Western Europe, negotiations began in November 1950 between NATO and the United States to establish air bases and station combat wings in France to meet European defense needs.

During the negotiations, the World War II airfield at Évreux was proposed for expansion into a modern air base for troop carrier and cargo aircraft.

The design of the airfield was to space parked aircraft as far apart as possible by the construction of a circular marguerite system of hardstands that could be revetted later with earth for added protection.

At Neubiberg, the 317th and transitioned from Douglas C-54 Skymasters to C-119s and shared a common mission with the 465th, transporting and paradropping airborne forces and their equipment.

The 322nd Air Division (Combat Cargo) was the main host unit at Évreux AB, being established on 12 August 1955 and remaining until 1 April 1964.

With the departure of the Troop Carrier Wing and Air Division, Évreux was placed in a reserve status, with the 7305th Combat Support Group maintaining the base and its facilities.

In November 1964 TAC C-130s on rotation to Évreux from the 464th Troop Carrier Wing at Pope AFB, NC flew the famous Dragon Rouge rescue mission at Stanleyville in the former Belgian Congo.

On 7 March 1966, French President Charles De Gaulle announced that France would withdraw from NATO's integrated military structure.

The 513th Troop Carrier Wing arrived at Évreux on 15 April 1966 from Sewart Air Force Base Tennessee to facilitate the removal of USAF assets in France.

By January 1967 virtually all was complete, and the Wing was transferred to RAF Mildenhall, England departing on 26 March when Évreux was returned to the French.

The electronic warfare system, known by its French acronym CUGE (capacité universelle de guerre électronique), is being developed and integrated by Thales and Dassault Aviation.

[5] Franco-German Joint Tactical Airlift Squadron On 30 August 2021, the French Defence Minister, Florence Parly, and the German Defence Minister, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, signed an agreement to officially create a joint Franco-German tactical airlift squadron based at Évreux, with plans to fully establish the new unit within three years.

A joint press release stated that French and German pilots will train in mixed teams “without distinction of nationality.” The squadron will consist of ten Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules aircraft - six from Germany and four from France.
