Tinker AFB is an Air Force Material Command installation located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Tinker Air Force Base was named in honor of Major General Clarence L. Tinker of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. General Tinker lost his life while leading a flight of LB-30 "Liberators" on a long-range strike against Japanese Forces on Wake Island during the early months of World War II. On April 8, 1941, the order was officially signed awarding the depot to Oklahoma City.

Today with nearly 22,000 civilian and military assigned to the base, logistic work is just a part of Tinker’s mission. After the arrival of the Navy, Tinker became one of DoD’s premier inter-servicing facilities.

Tinker largest organization is the Oklahoma City Air Logistic Center, one of five depot repairs center in the Air Force Material Command.
