The Wing also oversees the base's day-to-day operations and provides support for the military, federal civilian, and contract personnel assigned to Edwards AFB. Planes assigned to the 412th carry the tail code ED. *'''U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School''': Part of the 412th Test Wing, USAF TPS is where the Air Force's top pilots, navigators and engineers learn how to conduct flight tests and generate the data needed to carry out test missions. The comprehensive curriculum of Test Pilot School is fundamental to the success of flight tests and evaluations. *'''412th Operations Group''': The 412th OG flies an average of 90 aircraft with upwards of 30 aircraft designs. It performs an annual average of more than 7,400 missions, including more than 1,900 test missions. Its squadrons include: **[[411th Flight Test Squadron]]: (F-22) **[[416th Flight Test Squadron]]: (F-16) **[[419th Flight Test Squadron]]: (B-52H, B-1, B-2) **[[445th Flight Test Squadron]]: (Initial Flight Test Operations, T-38) **[[461st Flight Test Squadron]]: (F-35 Joint Strike Fighter) **[[412th Flight Test Squadron]]: (C-135C Speckled Trout) **[[418th Flight Test Squadron]]: (C-130 and special operations variants; CV-22; KC-135 and special variants; C-17A) **[[452d Flight Test Squadron]]: (RQ-4) *'''412th Test Management Division''' *'''412th Test Management Group''' *'''412th Civil Engineer Division''' *'''412th Maintenance Group''' *'''412th Medical Group''' *'''412th Mission Support Group''' *'''412th Electronic Warfare Group''' *'''412th Test Engineering Group''' The Test Engineering and Electronic Warfare groups provide the central components in conducting the Test and Evaluation mission of the 412 TW. They provide the tools, talent and equipment for the core disciplines of aircraft structures, propulsion, avionics and electronic warfare evaluation of the latest weapon system technologies. They also host the core facilities that enable flight test and ground test—the Range Division, Benefield Anechoic Facility, Integrated Flight Avionics Systems Test Facility and the Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator. The Project and Resource Management Divisions provide the foundation for the successful program management of test missions.
