Till its deactivation in the year 1992, many missions for close air support during Vietnam War and the Second Gulf War were absolved from Langley AFB. In 1992 the Air Combat Command was headquartered in Langley. After recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission, it was ordered to consolidate the Langley AFB and the US Army´s Fort Eustis into a single joint base.
