530th Combat Crew Training Squadron (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The 530th Combat Crew Training Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 380th Bombardment Wing at Plattsburgh Air Force Base, New York, where it was inactivated on 1 July 1991. The squadron was first activated as the 530th Bombardment Squadron during World War II. After training as a heavy bomber unit in the United States, it moved to the Southwest Pacific Theater, entering combat in May 1943, flying combat missions from Australia while attached to the Royal Australian Air Force, earning two Distinguished Unit Citations. In 1945 it moved forward to the Philippines, then to Okinawa. Following V-J Day, the squadron returned to the Philippines and was inactivated there in February 1946. The squadron was activated in the reserves in 1947, but was inactivated in the military budget reductions of 1949. The squadron was activated at Plattsburgh in July 1955 as a Strategic Air Command (SAC)bomber unit. At Plattsburgh, it flew Boeing B-47 Stratojets until inactivating in 1966 when the B-47 was withdrawn from service with SAC. It was again activated in 1986 as the 530th Strategic Bombardment Training Squadron, assuming the personnel and General Dynamics FB-111 Aardvarks of another squadron. It trained all FB-111 aircrews until inactivating when its planes were transferred to Tactical Air Command and modified for conventional operations. (en)
