After the conclusion of World War II, training on the base soon came to a halt. From December of 1945 to December of 1957, the base exchanged hands between various military organizations, including the Air Materiel Command, Strategic Air Command and the Tactical Air Command (Alexander and Arrington 1963, 332-333). Most of the activity at Wendover Air Base during those years included bomb and munitions-testing. On December 31, 1957, the base was decommissioned, with a short period of reactivation in 1961 (Alexander and Arrington 1963, 334-335). Several organizations, both military and civilian alike, have used the base since its final military abandonment in 1988 (Bateman 2004, 136).
