Base, North Dakota, redistributing four of the 319th Air Refueling Wing's KC-135R aircraft to MacDill AFB. The enlarged 6 AMW would then host an Air Force Reserve association arrangement with manpower realigned from Selfridge ANGB, with both units operating, maintaining and sharing the same (with the increase of aircraft reassigned from Grand Forks AFB) sixteen (16) KC-135R aircraft. In 2007, the wing began moving from Selfridge ANGB to MacDill AFB and formally established itself there on 1 May 2008. In 2019, the 6 AMW lost its resident airlift squadron and its three C-37A Gulfstream V aircraft. As a consequence, the 6 AMW reverted back to its previous designation from 2001 as the 6th Air Refueling Wing (6 ARW). On 21 December 2021, the Secretary of the Air Force announced that the 6 ARW would become Main Operating Base 6 (MOB 6) for the new KC-46A Pegasus air refueling aircraft, eventually replacing the now extant twenty-four (24) KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft at MacDill AFB with an equal number of KC-46A aircraft. Arrival of the first KC-46A at MacDill AFB is anticipated in late 2023/early 2024. As part of the 6 ARW's transition, the 927 ARW will also transition to the KC-46A.
