Insert History of Base graphic

The increased involvement of the United States in the war in 1941 resulted in plans to enlarge Lowry Army Air Field in the Denver area. A 5,740-acre site was selected and eventually purchased by the City and County of Denver and donated to the War Department in early 1941 to satisfy the growing need for military strength. That property became known as Buckley Field.

The base is named after 1st Lt. John Harold Buckley, a World War I flier from Longmont, Colo. He was shot down on a strafing mission behind German lines during the Argonne offensive.

A contract for architectural and engineering services was awarded in April 1942 and construction of Buckley Field began the following month. The Army Air Corps Technical School, offering B-17 and B-24 bombardier and armor training, was opened July 1 with Brig. Gen. L.A. Lawson commanding.

At an original cost of $7.5 million, base facilities included streets, runways, more than 700 structures, 10 water wells, a water distribution system, a sewage collection and treatment system, electrical plant, communication system, coal-fired steam heating plant and 16,800 feet of railroad track.

The ever-present need for wartime military personnel required additional basic training sites. In 1943, three of these sites were opened at the Lowry Bombing Range under Buckley's command.

Page 13 of 158Buckley Air Force Base IFS

As the Army Air Corps approached full strength in 1944, the additional training requirements diminished, bringing about a gradual decline in personnel throughout 1945. When the war finally ended, Buckley became an auxiliary field for Lowry, which in turn, transferred it to the Colorado Air National Guard in 1946.

But the Air Guard's first-term ownership quickly came to an end when the Department of the Navy took charge in 1947, renaming the installation Naval Air Station-Denver.

Nearly 12 years later, the Navy decommissioned Denver's Naval Air Station on June 30, 1959, and returned the installation back to the Air Force, which licensed it to the state of Colorado.

On April 18, 1960, the installation took on a new, yet familiar name, Buckley Air National Guard Base, and became the first stand-alone Air National Guard base in the United States. For the next 40 years, the Air National Guard would maintain Buckley as an Air National Guard installation.

On Oct. 1, 2000, Buckley once again changed hands. This time it would be back to the U.S. Air Force as the 821st Space Group became the host unit and the Secretary of the Air Force renamed the facility Buckley Air Force Base.

Just a year later, the 460th Air Base Wing, 14th Air Force's (Air Force Space Command) newest wing, stood up and assumed host duties of the base, and three years later, in August 2004, the 460th Air Base Wing became the 460th Space Wing.

The name change came about as the 460th Air Base Wing assumed management responsibilities following the 821st Space Group's inactivation Sept. 30. With the new title also came an increase in manpower to provide host-base responsibilities and base operating support.

The 460th Air Base Wing was re-designated the 460th Space Wing on Aug. 19, 2004, and assumed operational responsibilities for the 2nd, 8th and 137th Space Warning Squadrons from the 21st Space Wing. Today, the 460th Space Wing is the focal point for the Air Force's space-based missile warning and communications missions.

However, through all the changes, the Colorado Air National Guard has continued to operate the most visible mission at the base, F-16 Fighting Falcon flight and training operations.
