==Units== The 305th Air Mobility Wing, 108th Air Refueling Wing (ANG), 621st Contingency Response Wing, and the 514th Air Mobility Wing (AFRC), has supported every major type of air mobility mission over the past 15 years. The following units are assigned to McGuire AFB: * [[87th Air Base Wing]] * [[305th Air Mobility Wing]] * [[514th Air Mobility Wing]] ([[Air Force Reserve Command|AFRC]]) * [[108th Air Refueling Wing]] ([[New Jersey Air National Guard|New Jersey ANG]]) * [[Marine Aircraft Group 49]] (MAG-49) ([[U.S. Marine Corps Reserve]] / [[4th Marine Aircraft Wing]]) * [[HMLA-773|Marine Helicopter Light Attack Squadron 773]] (HMLA-773) ([[U.S. Marine Corps Reserve]] / [[MAG-49]]) * Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 64 (VR-64) ([[U.S. Navy Reserve]])<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.vr64.navy.mil/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=12 January 2017 |archive-date=3 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703181509/http://www.vr64.navy.mil/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> McGuire is the only base in both the Air Mobility Command and the entire [[U.S. Air Force]] hosting three AMC-gained flying wings of the Regular Air Force, [[Air Force Reserve]] and [[Air National Guard]]. McGuire is also host to: *[[United States Air Force Expeditionary Center]] (USAF EC)—physically located on [[Fort Dix]] *[[621st Contingency Response Wing]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jbmdl.jb.mil/ |title=Factsheets : 621st Contingency Response Wing |access-date=2012-07-22 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229040552/http://www.jointbasemdl.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=3893 |archive-date=29 February 2012 }}</ref> (CRW) *373rd Training Squadron (373 TRS), Detachment 1 *AMC Test and Evaluation Squadron (TES) McGuire hosts the flying needs of its mission partners on JB MDL. Air Force and civilian AMC-contracted aircraft use McGuire's two [[runway]]s to facilitate this mission. Many hundreds of thousands of Air Force, Army, [[United States Navy|Navy]], and [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] personnel have left the United States for overseas locations from McGuire AFB. Airplanes from McGuire have provided the [[flypast|flyovers]] for [[Philadelphia Eagles]] games and [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|Major League Baseball All-Star]] and [[World Series]] games played in [[Philadelphia]] at the end of the [[The Star-Spangled Banner|National Anthem]]. These same planes were also responsible for the [[Super Bowl XLVIII]] flyover and [[missing-man formation]] which came at the end of opera star [[Renee Fleming]]'s rendition of the National Anthem.
