Tactical Support Wing
The Tactical Support Wing (TSW) is a United States Navy reserve Tactical air wing based at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth. Commander, Tactical Support Wing (TSW) has become the new designation of the former Reserve Carrier Air Wing 20 (CVWR-20). This change occurred on 1 April 2007 and was executed in accordance with the U.S. Navy's Active-Reserve Integration (ARI) plan. The wing comprises six squadrons and four Squadron Augment Units (SAU) located in seven different states whose primary mission is operational and training support for active forces. The air wing is the only Tactical Reserve Air Wing in the world today and is an integral part of the Navy's Tactical Training. With the disestablishment of the West Coast reserve air wing (CVWR-30), TSW is now the heart of tactical aviation in the U.S. Naval Air Reserve.

Famous quotes containing the words support and/or wing:
“[They] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them. For these they made the most comfortable institution [and] provided [them] with all conveniences for rural amusements, a library, musical instruments, and implements for various works.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
