Hickam Air Force Base was a United States Air Force base now part of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, named in honor of aviation pioneer Lt. Col. Horace Meek Hickam. It consists of 2,850 acres (12 km²) of land and facilities bordering Pearl Harbor, valued at more than $444 million. It is under the operational control of Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), which is headquartered on the base, and is also home to PACAF's 15th Airlift Wing (15 AW), the Hawaii Air National Guard's 154th Wing (154 WG), which is operationally gained by PACAF, and Air Mobility Command's 515th Air Mobility Operations Wing (515 AMOW). The 15 AW functions as the "host wing" for the base. The housing around the base is within the Hickam Housing CDP.
