History

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) began construction of the base in the spring of 1951. The USAF initially planned to use the base as an emergency staging and recovery site for medium and heavy bombers. The Turkish General Staff and the USAF signed a joint use agreement for the new base in December 1954. On February 21, 1955, the base was officially named Adana Air Base, with the 7216th Air Base Squadron as host unit. The site was later renamed Incirlik Air Base on February 28, 1958.

Lebanon crisis

The Lebanon crisis exploded in the summer of 1958, prompting President Dwight D. Eisenhower to order Tactical Air Command (TAC) Composite Air Strike Force Bravo to deploy from the United States to Incirlik. The strike force consisted of F-100s, B-57s, RF-101s, RB-66s and WB-66s. These aircraft and supporting personnel overwhelmed the facilities at Incirlik, which also supported cargo and transport aircraft deploying an Army battalion from Germany to Lebanon. Because no ground fighting involving Americans erupted, the strike force flew missions to cover troop movements, show-of-force missions over Beirut, aerial reconnaissance sorties and leaflet drops.

After the Lebanon crisis, TAC deployed F-100 fighter squadrons on 100-day rotations to Incirlik from the United States. The flying mission at Incirlik further diversified in 1970 when the Turkish Air Force agreed to allow U.S. Air Forces in Europe to use its air-to-ground missile range at 240 km northwest Konya, providing a suitable training area for squadrons deployed to Incirlik.

Embargo

In mid-1975, the Turkish government announced that all U.S. bases in Turkey would close and transfer control to the Turkish military.
