It operates Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft conducting airborne command and control missions. The first two antecedents of the squadron were active during World War II. The 595th Bombardment Squadron served as an Operational and Replacement Training Unit, before being inactivated in a general reorganization of Army Air Forces training units. The 165th Liaison Squadron performed special operations in India and Burma from September 1944 until the end of the war, when it returned to the United States for inactivation. The unit's other predecessor unit was activated in 1955 as the 965th Airborne Early Warning and Control Squadron. It performed air defense patrols off the Pacific coast of the United States until inactivating in 1971. It was activated again at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma in 1978 as the 965th Airborne Warning and Control Squadron, MissionProvide the combat Air Force with airborne systems and personnel for surveillance, warning and control of strategic, tactical, and special mission forces.[3] HistoryWorld War IIBombardment trainingThe 595th Bombardment Squadron was first activated at Mountain Home Army Air Field, Idaho on 16 February 1943 as one of the four original squadrons of the 396th Bombardment Group.[1][4] After initial organization and equipping with Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, the squadron moved to Moses Lake Army Air Base, Washington. There the squadron acted as an Operational Training Unit (OTU) for B-17 units. The OTU program involved the use of an oversized parent unit to provide cadres to "satellite groups"[5] In August 1943, the unit's mission changed to being a Replacement Training Unit (RTU).[1] Like OTUs, RTUs were an oversized units. Their mission, however was to train individual pilots or aircrews.[5] In November 1943, the 595th moved to Drew Field, Florida, where it would remain for the duration of its active service.[1] However, the Army Air Forces was finding that standard military units, based on relatively inflexible tables of organization were not well adapted to the training mission. Accordingly it adopted a more functional system in which each base was organized into a separate numbered unit.[6] The 592d was inactivated on 1 May 1944 at Drew Field, Florida.[1] Its personnel and equipment became part of the 326th AAF Base Unit.[7] Special operations in BurmaThe 165th Liaison Squadron was activated at Asansol, India as part of the 1st Air Commando Group in September 1944. It flew evacuation missions and provided light transport services for ground forces in Burma from 6 October 1944 until 23 April 1945. It returned to Asansol that month and remained there until October, when it returned to the United States and was inactivated at the Port of Embarkation.[1] Air defense patrolsThe 965th Airborne Early Warning and Control Squadron was activated in August 1955 as part of the at McClellan Air Force Base, California. It flew long range surveillance, beginning in the late 1950s and rotated aircrews to Southeast Asia from, after about 4 April 1965 until it was inactivated in June 1971.[1] Airborne warning and controlThe 965th was reactivated at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma in 1978 to fly the Boeing E-3 Sentry. The squadron became non-operational the following year, wlthouhg it remained on the active list. It resumed operations in 1984. The following year, the 595th Bombardment Squadron and 165th Liaison Squadron were consolidated with the squadron. It flew combat support missions over Panama from, 20 December 1989–24 January 1990 and in Southwest Asia from, 17 January–6 March 1991.[1] Operations
