The 15th Wing (15 WG) is a wing of the United States Air Force at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii (JBPHH). The wing reports directly to the commander, Pacific Air Forces. Its history goes back to World War II, when the 15th Pursuit Group was largely destroyed during the 7 December 1941 Japanese Pearl Harbor Attack at Hickam Field. It later became a Twentieth Air Force group, providing Very Long Range (VLR) fighter escorts for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers that attacked the Japanese home Islands.
