HISTORY: The 310th has a long and rich heritage dating back to World War II when it began as the 310th Bombardment Group on March 15, 1942. The unit flew B-25 "Mitchell" bomber aircraft in support of operations in Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, Sardinia, France, Austria and Yugoslavia during the war. The group perfected "skip bombing" techniques against bridge, airborne, rail yard and marshaling yard targets. The group was inactivated on Sept. 12, 1945. The 310th Bombardment Wing was reactivated in 1952 and trained on the B-29 Superfortress before converting to the B-47 Stratojet. The wing deployed to RAF station Upper Heyford, England from March 10 - June 8, 1955 and to RAF Greenham Common, England from Oct. 3, 1956 - Jan. 19, 1965 before being deactivated in June of 1965. On Sept. 1, 1991, the 310th Training and Test Wing was activated for a short time at Vandenberg AFB and was responsible for initial ICBM operations crew training and ICBM operational testing. It was inactivated on July 1, 1993. The 310th designator was again activated with the stand up of the 310th Space Group on Sept. 4, 1997. The group was created from its original squadron, the 7th SOPS, and has grown rapidly with the realization of the critical role the Air Force Reserve can play in the future of space operations.
