It was inactivated in 2014.[3] The group was first activated prior to World War II as the 64th Transport Group During World War II the group engaged in combat operations, primarily with Twelfth Air Force during the war, earning a Distinguished Unit Citation. HistoryThe 64th Air Expeditionary Group is a provisional unit and uses the emblem of the inactive 64th Flying Training Wing. World War IIConstituted as the 64th Transport Group on 20 November 1940. Activated on 4 December 1940. Used C-47’s for training and flying transport missions in the US. Redesignated 64th Troop Carrier Group in July 1942. Moved to England in August 1942 and received additional training. Became part of Twelfth Air Force. Moved to the Mediterranean theater, November–December 1942. Flew first mission on 11 November, landing paratroops at Maison Blanche Airport. Dropped paratroops to capture airfields during the battle for Tunisia. Released paratroops near Gela and Catania when the Allies invaded Sicily in July 1943. Dropped paratroops near Avellino during the invasion of Italy in September 1943 to destroy a bridge on the enemy’s supply line to Salerno. Participated in the assault on southern France in August 1944 by releasing gliders and paratroops in the battle zone. Supported the partisans in northern Italy early in 1945 by dropping paratroops, supplies, and propaganda leaflets behind enemy lines. When not engaged in airborne combat operations, the group continually transported men and supplies to the front lines and evacuated wounded personnel. Most of the group was on detached service in the CBI theater, April–June 1944, while a skeleton force remained in Sicily. With its squadrons operating from separate bases in India, the 64th group aided the Allied offensive in Burma, being awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation for flying unarmed over rugged enemy territory to carry food, clothing, medical supplies, guns, ammunition, and mules to the combat zone and to evacuate wounded personnel. Moved to Trinidad in June 1945. Assigned to Air Transport Command. Inactivated on 31 July 1945. Activated in the United States on 19 May 1947. Not manned during 1947–1948. Inactivated on 10 September 1948. Cold WarThe 64th performed airlift and airdrop/airlanding of troops and cargo, routinely and during frequent maneuvers, 1952–1953. It began phasing down for inactivation in mid-October 1953, at which time tactical operations passed to 63d Troop Carrier Wing. In February 1954, however, the wing began building up again in preparation for an overseas movement, but was inactivated instead. Flying trainingFrom the implementation of the Objective Wing organization until 1997, the group served as the flying arm of the 64th Flying Training Wing. Expeditionary operationsThe 64 AEG/AEW operated out of Camp Snoopy at Doha International Airport, Qatar from 1996 until 2004.{{Dubious|date=November 2015}} In 2005, the group was activated for defense of personnel and assets in Southwest Asia. It provided force protection and support services for the installation (Eskan Village). The group was made up of about 300 security forces, support airmen, and civilians in two squadrons: the 64th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron and the 64th Expeditionary Support Squadron. Their mission was to stand guard, provide integrated defense, emergency response, and combat support for the base, which houses military and host-nation tenant agencies. Most days the airmen fought the Global War on Terrorism in extreme temperatures of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.[4] LineageGroup
