The 818th Air Base Group took control from the 98th Air Base Group when the 818th Air Division was activated. The group provided general administration of the base, somewhat as Lincoln's "3rd" wing. During a 1958 reorganization, the Air Base Group became the 818th Combat Support Group.

The 818th CSG relinquished command of the base back into the hands of the 98th Strategic Aerospace Wing when the 818th Aerospace Division inactivated in March 1965.
