Units at Alamogordo AAF/Holloman AFB
10 June 1942 - Current era

    During its history there were many units associated with Holloman AFB.  Some of those units were at the base for a very short time.  This is particularly true during the World War II years when units rotated through several bases before shipping overseas.   This list was built from various sources and many (including official sources) are incomplete and in some cases inaccurate.
