In 2023 Jane's Defence Weekly confirmed a June 2022 AFCENT statement that the 407 AEG had been inactivated.

In the early 2020s it consisted of the following squadrons: Former units The 407th AEG traced its history back to the 407th Bombardment Group (Dive) which was established 23 March 1943, at Drew Field, Florida.

Also assigned to the wing in "attached" status was the 91st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron (20 December 1954 – 17 July 1955) with RF-84Ks.

Returning to the United States, the wing sent its straight-winged F-84Gs to AMARC, and was re-equipped with newer and faster swept-wing F-84F Thunderstreaks.

From Great Falls, the 407th provided long-range fighter escort and refueling for B-36 Peacemaker and B-50 Superfortress bombers.

The 332d AEW then transferred from Al Jaber AB, Kuwait, to Ali Base on 5 August 2003.
