Recognizing 71 years of mission success
After 71 years, Shaw AFB has now grown to be the nation’s primary suppression of enemy air defenses and close air support wing, preparing and employing combat-ready Airmen and F-16 airpower. Home of the 20th Fighter Wing, Shaw AFB also hosts more than 20 mission partners, to include U.S. Air Forces Central Command, U.S. Army Central Command, Ninth Air Force Headquarters and the 51st Intelligence Squadron.
