Welcome to the home of the 168th Air Refueling Wing! The 168th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) exemplifies the spirit of today's slimmer, trimmer military. Nowhere is daily cooperation between the active and reserve components more in evidence than in the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), Alaska, and the 168 ARW. The 168 ARW transfers more fuel than any other Air National Guard (ANG) tanker group, because nearly all receivers are active duty aircraft, many of which are on operational missions. The 168 ARW is the only Arctic-region refueling unit for all of PACAF, and maintains a substantial number of personnel on active duty and civilian technician status in order to meet its daily operational requirements.
