The unification of support for Langley and Fort Eustis was directed by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission.

The wing and group inactivated in March 1970 and Pleiku was turned over to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force.

Wing personnel cared for more than 20,000 people and 1,100 pets in June 1991 when Operation Fiery Vigil evacuated Americans from Luzon following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.

The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommended the consolidation of support functions for military installations located close to one another.

Langley Air Force Base, a United States Air Force station and Fort Eustis, a United States Army post, are both located near Hampton, Virginia, and the commission recommended combining them into Joint Base Langley-Eustis.
