McClellan Field was built in 1935, designated at USAAC Pacific Air Depot. The main structures, including administrative buildings, barracks, warehouses and a hospital were completed on 18 April 1938. The depot was renamed Sacramento Air Depot in 1938 and underwent a major expansion as a repair and overhaul facility for fighter planes. In December 1941, soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, combat aircraft began arriving at the field to be armed and prepared for immediate shipment overseas.

The base was renamed McClellan AFB in 1948 and its repair and overhaul mission continued throughout the Cold War as an installation of the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) and later the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), with the overhaul facility being known as the Sacramento Air Logistics Center.
