About Offutt Air Force Base (Offutt AFB)

Offutt Air Force Base (Offutt AFB) is a base of the United States Air Force and a census-designated place (CDP) in Sarpy County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 8,901 at the 2000 census. It is home to the headquarters of the United States Strategic Command, the Air Force Weather Agency, and the 55th Wing. Offutt AFB was first constructed between 1894 and 1896 and was then an Army post named Fort Crook. The fort's namesake was Maj. Gen. George Crook, a Civil War era Indian Fighter.

The oldest part of the base is the parade grounds and surrounding buildings. Predating 1900, these brick buildings are still in active use today as squadron headquarters, quarters reserved for high-ranking generals (Generals Row), and Nebraska?s oldest operational jail.

Fort Crook was designated Offutt Field during 1924, in honor of 1st Lt. Jarvis J. Offutt. Offutt was an American pilot who was killed while flying with the Royal Air Force in France during World War I.

"Building D," located at Offutt, was the manufacturing site of the two bombers (Enola Gay and Bockscar) that dropped the first atomic weapons to be used in a military action (against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan).

In 1948, Offutt Field transferred to the new Department of the Air Force and became Offutt Air Force Base. Later that same year, the 3902d Air Base Wing became the host unit at Offutt. During the same year, Offutt gained international prominence when it became the host base for the Headquarters of Strategic Air Command. Offutt was chosen for its strategic central position in the USA; allowing long-range, nuclear-armed bombers to (then) stay safely out of range of hostile missiles or bomber aircraft. Offutt's population and facilities grew dramatically to keep pace with the increased operational demands during the Cold War. Several new buildings were erected, including more than 2,000 family housing units.

The 3902d Air Base Wing was deactivated in 1986, and the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing assumed host-unit responsibilities. Increased defense spending during the 1980s brought additional operational improvements to Offutt, including the Bennie Davis Aircraft Maintenance Hangar, and a new command center for Headquarters SAC.

In 1992 the Air Force reorganized its military unit structure. The Strategic Air Command was deactivated, and on June 1, the unified U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), was established. The 55th Strategic Wing then became the 55th Wing, under the newly created Air Combat Command.
