The training wing is stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas where it is also a host unit.

[2] The Training Wing produces more than 62,000 graduates annually in over 1,000+ technical training courses, including aircraft maintenance, civil engineering, and nuclear and conventional munitions.

The 82nd replaced and absorbed resources of the 3525th Pilot Training Wing in February 1973 at Williams Air Force Base, Arizona and assumed undergraduate pilot training operations in Cessna T-37 Tweet and Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft.

In March 1978, the 82nd's first female instructor pilot, Capt Connie Engel, was assigned to the 97th Fighter Training Squadron to instruct T-38 students.

The test showed the wing needed a fifth squadron to provide operational support.

The 82nd was inactivated at Williams and HQ AETC activated the 82nd Training Wing at Sheppard and assigned it to Second Air Force.
