It (One base, one Wing) was a stupid idea then, it's a stupid idea now.
Looks like it is following the composite wing.

Second wing activated at Ramstein Air Base

(EXCERPT) , By Marni McEntee, Stars and Stripes European edition,

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany - In a rare occurrence in the Air Force,
one wing became two at Ramstein as the new 435th Air Base Wing was
activated and a new commander took the reins.


And so we come full circle.
It USED to be two wings. One for operations, and one for everything else.
Then came "One base, one Wing" concept in 1990(?). Everything united under
one BG.

Soon, all remnants of McPeak's term as CoS will be gone. His legacy erased in
under a decade.

One decade too long.
