Hobson Plan

The Hobson Plan was an organizational structure established by the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1948. Known as the "Wing-Base" plan, it replaced the base plan used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the predecessor organization of the USAF. The plan made the wing the basic combat unit of the USAAF, rather than the group and placed all support elements under the command of the wing commander in addition to combat elements.
