Aviano Air Base is located approximately 50 miles north of Venice, Italy, and nine miles from Pordenone, the closest large town. The base is going through a period of massive reconstruction and therefore facility locations are constantly changing.
There has been an American presence in Aviano since the end of World War II. In 1954 the Italian and American governments signed a joint use agreement and by 1955, HQ United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) had moved its Italian operations from Udine to Aviano. he base went through a period of hosting rotational fighter squadrons. With the declining use of the Italian live fire range, the rotational squadrons became a thing of the past. Aviano became a war reserve material storage base and played a big part in Desert Storm. In 1992, HQ 16th Air Force and the 401st Fighter Wing moved from Torrejon Air Base, Spain to Aviano. In 1994 the 401st FW was deactivated and the 31st FW reactivated.
The 31st Air Expeditionary Wing's Mission is "To support the United States interests by conducting air combat and combat support in the Southern Region".
The 31st Air Expeditionary Wing vision is: "America's best, living and working in a modern infrastructure, providing world-class combat capability".
