The 94th Wing is the host organization at Dobbins ARB and is responsible for providing security, civil engineering, fire protection, air traffic control, airfield maintenance, and numerous other services the base and to tenant organizations assigned to the base.

On arrival at Hanscom, it absorbed the resources of the inactivating 89th Fighter-Bomber Wing[10] and began conversion to Flying Boxcars.

This weakness was demonstrated in the partial mobilization of reserve units during the Berlin Crisis of 1961 To resolve this, at the start of 1962, Continental Air Command determined to reorganize its reserve wings by establishing groups with support elements for each of its troop carrier squadrons.

However, as this plan was entering its implementation phase, another partial mobilization, which included the 94th Wing, occurred for the Cuban Missile Crisis, with the units being released on 22 November 1962.

The wing's primary operations now involved support of Army airborne forces, tactical cargo airlift, and air evacuation missions.

The wing participated in numerous humanitarian airlift and contingency operations worldwide, especially in the areas of Southwest Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean Sea.

In the spring of 1996, wing personnel and aircraft deployed to Europe in support of peacekeeping operations in Bosnia.

The primary mission of the wing is to maintain combat ready Lockheed C-130H Hercules aircraft to deploy on short notice to support contingencies.

The secondary mission is as host organization for supporting all agencies and tenants at Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

To accomplish this, the wing recruits, organizes, and trains Air Force reservists for active duty in time of war, national emergency, or contingency tasking employing them to deliver cargo and personnel into and out of airports as minimal as austere dirt runways to major international airports.

The mission involves tactical combat airland and airdrop of personnel and equipment and forward deployed austere operational command and control of airlift support forces.

Its units can deploy anywhere in the world in the event of heightened tension, outbreak of hostilities or to support humanitarian mission as dictated by the National Command Authority.
