In 2016, a decision was made to restore the AFRC KC-135 mission at Beale AFB and the 940 WG was again redesignated as the [[940th Air Refueling Wing]] (940 ARW), taking custody of its first KC-135R aircraft in July 2016. Seven additional KC-135R aircraft followed and the wing again achieved a fully operational capability with the KC-135R in October 2016.

In June 2016, the 940 WG was redesignated back to its previous title of the [[940th Air Refueling Wing]] (940 ARW), reversing the earlier BRAC 2005 decision. The 940 ARW was again an [[Air Mobility Command]] (AMC)-gained unit of the [[Air Force Reserve Command]] (AFRC) under [[Tenth Air Force]] (10 AF), with the first KC-135R aircraft arriving at Beale AFB on 10 July 2016. The remaining seven KC-135 aircraft incrementally followed, with the wing achieving full operating strength at Beale by October 2016.<ref name="afrc.af.mil">{{Cite web|url=https://www.afrc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/854471/kc-135-tanker-mission-returns-to-beale/|title = KC-135 tanker mission returns to Beale| date=22 July 2016 }}</ref>

With the redesignation of the 940 ARW to its previous incarnation and its shift in operational claimancy to AMC, the [[13th Reconnaissance Squadron]] (13 RS), which was previously assigned to the former 940 WG, was realigned as a geographically separated unit (GSU) of the [[926th Wing]] (926 WG) at [[Nellis AFB]], Nevada, and further assigned to the wing's 726th Operations Group (726 OG) at [[Creech AFB]], Nevada. In this capacity, the 13 RS continues to concurrently operate [[RQ-4 Global Hawk]] at Beale AFB as a concurrent associate element to the 9 RW and remaining an [[Air Combat Command]] (ACC)-gained unit of AFRC.
