Altus AFB
Altus Air Force Base - Born out of the cotton fields of southwestern Oklahoma, Altus Air Force Base first became home to military aircraft and personnel in 1943. The new millennium continues to bring changes to the base in August of 2002 the mission of the wing grew when the Air Force moved the basic loadmaster course from Sheppard AFB Texas to Altus. This initiative combined similar training programs to reduce the number of moves required by trainees while cutting overall costs. In addition, in August 2002, the wing reorganized as a combat wing.”
