No. 138 (Bomber) Wing RAF

No. 138 Wing fought with No. 2 Group RAF, RAF Second Tactical Air Force (2TAF) in North-West Europe after D-Day.

Current use

Re-formed on 1 April 2006 as an EAW, the Wing is led by the Station Commander of RAF Marham, supported by their Station management team. The deployable elements of the RAF Marham form the core of the EAW, reinforced by assigned Capability-based Module Readiness System (CMRS) personnel and elements of the Air Combat Support Units (ACSUs). EAWs enable the RAF to train as cohesive units of Air Power which are prepared and capable of transitioning quickly from peacetime structures and deploying swiftly on operations.[citation needed]

During December 2021 the unit deployed to Stornoway, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, UK.[3]
