Sheppard Air Force Base isthe largest and most diversified training center in Air Education and Training Command. It is located close to Wichita Falls in the state of Texas. Though the mission has changed several times, Sheppard has always been in the training business since it was officially opened as an active Army Air Corps base in October 1941. The Field was named for the late Senator Morris E. Sheppard, former chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Committee. During World War II, Sheppard conducted basic training and it also trained glider mechanics, technical training for B-25 and B-26 crew chiefs and B-29 engineers. The base also provided liaison aircraft training for ground officers and helicopter pilot training. The 3630th Flying Training Wing was activated in 1965, and it assumed the helicopter training program. It also began providing undergraduate pilot training in the T-37 and T-38 for the German Air Force in August 1966. Helicopter training was discontinued in 1971 when the U.S. Army assumed responsibility for training Air Force helicopter pilots. The 3630th Flying Training Wing also provided undergraduate pilot training for pilots of the Republic of Vietnam Air Force from 1971 to 1975. The 3630th Flying Training Wing designation was changed to the 80th Flying Training Wing in 1973. The 80th Flying Training Wing began conducting the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program in 1981. This one-of-a-kind program provides fighter oriented pilot training for 13 NATO countries. They are: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The program has been approved through the year 2016. Four organizations, the 80th Flying Training Wing, the 82nd Training Group, the 782nd Training Group and the 882nd Training Group, conduct resident training that qualifies students in a broad range of career fields—from pilot, aircraft maintenance, civil engineering, communications, comptroller and transportation to a wide scope of medical specialties. The 982nd Training Group provides instruction in a wide range of specialties at more than 46 Air Force installations worldwide. The 82nd Mission Support Group and the 82nd Medical Group support these organizations. ( MyBaseGuide.com )
