The detachment was formed in 2002 to support developmental testing of the C-5 modernization effort. Detachment 4 worked with personnel from Lockheed Martin and personnel from the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, as part of the C-5 Combined Test Force. Two C-5Bs and one C-5A were modified for test during the Avionics Modernization Program, which ran from December 2002 until November 2005, and the Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program, which ran from November 2005 until December 2008.
