On 1 August 1953 the 2851st Air Base Wing was designated and organized to provide administrative services for Air Force logistics in San Antonio, Texas. It was redesignated the 2851st Air Base Group on 16 October 1964.

Nearly thirty years later, it was

  • redesignated the 651st Support Group on 1 October 1992;
  • redesignated the 651st Air Base Group on 1 October 1993;
  • and redesignated the 76th Air Base Wing on 1 October 1994.

The 2851st Air Base Wing provided administrative and logistical support for the San Antonio Air Materiel Area (later, San Antonio Air Logistics Center) and numerous tenant organizations on the base. It became host wing of Kelly Air Force Base on 17 August 1959. It was reduced to group status from 1964 to 1994. The wing anf group frequently supported humanitarian and disaster relief missions and deployed personnel in support of operations in Southwest Asia in 1990 and 1991.

On 1 October 2012, the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center was redesignated as the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex and leadership of the complex was transferred from the former 76th Maintenance Wing. ([2])
