What are the three types of Wings?

• A. Tactical, strategic, and support
• B. Combat, training, and research
• C. Transport, aerial, and rescue
• D. Operational, air base, and specialized mission

Answer: (D)

The main concept here is how wings are categorized by their primary function in Air Force organization. Wings fall into three broad types: operational wings, which generate combat power through aircraft and aircrews; air base wings, which provide the installation’s base-support functions like security, civil engineering, logistics, and medical services; and specialized mission wings, which focus on a unique capability or program that doesn’t fit the other two areas.

This trio—operational, air base, and specialized mission—best matches how wings are typically organized, so it’s the correct grouping. The other options mix mission types or unit purposes that aren’t used as the standard wing-type classifications.
