The 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW) is a wing of the United States Air Force based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. Air Force officials redesignated the inactive Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory, or AAMRL, as the 711th HPW and activated it on March 26, 2008, as one of 10 entities moving under the control of the Air Force Research Laboratory. The AF Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (AAMRL) was constituted on 20 Aug 1979, and activated 8 Sept 1979. The AAMRL was the predecessor organization of the RHC & RHP Divisions as they existed in 2008. The Laboratory was redesignated the Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory 1 Jan 1985, and inactivated on 13 December 1990.

Mission

The mission of the 711 HPW is to advance human performance in air, space, and cyberspace through research, education, and consultation. The Wing supports the most critical Air Force resource - the operational military forces. The Wing's primary focus areas are aerospace medicine, human effectiveness, science and technology, and human systems integration. In conjunction with the
