The wing is also the host unit at Barksdale. The wing was assigned to the Air Force Global Strike Command in February 2010 as part of the reassignment of Eighth Air Force.

Active for over 60 years, the 2 BW was a component wing of Strategic Air Command (SAC)’s heavy bomber deterrent force throughout the Cold War.
