|}Sixteenth Air Force is the Warfighting Headquarters for United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) . It is headquartered at Ramstein AB, Germany.
Originated as a separate operating agency, Sixteenth Air Force has served both Strategic Air Command and United States Air Forces in Europe. The Sixteenth Air Force has been the operational air force for USAF combat operations in the Balkans since its move to Aviano AB, Italy, in 1992.
In 2005, Sixteenth Air Force moved to Ramstein AB, Germany to become USAFE's new Warfighting Headquarters. Currently the 401st Air Expeditionary Wing, responsible for ongoing U.S. Air Force contingency support in the Balkans, is the only wing assigned to Sixteenth Air Force in its new role. All other wings that were assigned are now assigned to HQ Air Command Europe.
