The 1st Bombardment Wing was initially formed in France in 1918 during World War I as a command and control organization for the Pursuit Groups of the First Army Air Service. It was re-established in the United States as the first wing formed in the reorganized United States Army Air Service created in August 1919 to control three groups patrolling the border with Mexico after revolution broke out there.
