The wing was first activated in the reserve as the 448th Bombardment Wing in 1949 when Continental Air Command converted its reserve flying organizations under the wing base organization system. It was called to active duty in 1951 for the Korean War, but inactivated a few days when its personnel were transferred to other units.
It was activated again as the 448th Fighter-Bomber Wing in 1955, when it replaced a flying training wing at Hensley Field, Texas. It was inactivated two years later when the Air Force converted its reserve flying units to troop carrier units.
