dbo:abstract

The 570th Strategic Missile Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 390th Strategic Missile Wing at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. It was equipped with the LGM-25C Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile, with a mission of nuclear deterrence. The squadron was inactivated as part of the phaseout of the Titan II on 31 July 1984. The squadron was first activated during World War II as the 570th Bombardment Squadron. After training in the United States, it deployed to the European Theater of Operations, where it participated in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany. It was twice awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation for its actions in combat. After V-E Day, the squadron returned to the United States, where it was inactivated in August 1945. The squadron was active in the reserve from 1947 until 1949, but does not appear to have been fully manned or equipped at this time. (en)
