Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii is home to the 15th Airlift Wing (15AW) and 67 partner units including Pacific Air Forces Headquarters and the Hawaii Air National Guard. History shows Hickam played a pivotal role in past Pacific operations - bullet-scarred walls are still visible from the December 7th, 1941 attack that pushed the U.S. into WW II. Today, the 15AW remains the launch point of strategic air mobility and operational missions in support of the Global War on Terrorism as well as special air missions in support of the commander, Pacific Command and commander, Pacific Air Forces.
