Villamor Air Base in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1][2] Its headquarters offices are located at the AFRC building inside the airbase. The wing covers all Philippine Air Force reserve units in the National Capital Region (NCR). 1st AFWR is divided into the 11th, 12th, and 13th Air Force Groups (Reserve) (AFGR).[1] Currently, the 1st AFWR is under the command of Brigadier General Raymundo T. Francisco,[3] who took over the position in March 2015.[4]

The motto of the 1st AFWR PAF is Script error: No such module "Lang". (in Tagalog), which means 'Old Soldier'. Personnel of the 1st AFWR are military reservists, consisting of commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted members; all of whom have their own primary civilian occupation or profession, and serve part-time in the air force.[1]

A reserve wing in the Philippine Air Force is equivalent in size to a brigade in the army. A reserve air group is equivalent to a battalion. Subordinate units in the reserve air group include squadrons (companies) and flights (platoons).

In Luzon, the other air force reserve wings are the 2nd AFWR based at Clark Air Base that covers the area from Central Luzon up to all of northern Luzon, and the 3rd AFWR at Fernando Air Base in Batangas that covers all of southern Luzon from Cavite through the Bicol Region.
