The 184th Intelligence Wing has a proud history and a wealth of tradition. The unit was activated to Federal service during WWII, the Korean Conflict, and the Viet Nam Conflict. The 184th Intelligence Wing has been honored with four USAF Outstanding Unit Awards for exceptionally meritorious service.
