 Although activated, the 37th FBW was neither manned nor equipped and it was inactivated on 25 June as a result of the Armistice in Korea and the subsequent need for deployment to the war zone being unnecessary.With the escalation of the Vietnam War in 1965–1966, the Air Force re-activated the unit and re-designated it as the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), and activated it on 26 October 1966.The wing was activated at the newly built Phù Cát Air Base, South Vietnam and it was assigned to Pacific Air Forces.
