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 [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Love’s the only thing I’ve thought of or read about since I was knee-high. That’s what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love. And when that remarkable thing happened, I was going to recite poetry to her for hours about how her heart’s an angel’s wing and her hair the strings of a heavenly harp. Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
