The United States Air Force's 318th Operations Support Squadron is an operations support squadron located at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas.

Mission

The mission of the 318th Squadron is to "Deliver relevant, validated, tactics, intelligence, and synchronized capabilities to cyberspace warfighters while providing mission support throughout the 688th Cyberspace Wing."{{Clarify|date=July 2014}}

History

The squadron was first activated at Columbia Army Air Base, South Carolina on 1 May 1943 as the 318th Airdrome Squadron.[1] The squadron provided support to the 309th Bombardment Group, a Replacement Training Unit that trained replacement aircrews using B-25 Mitchell aircraft.[2] However, the AAF was finding that standard military units, based on relatively inflexible tables of organization were proving less well adapted to performing the training and support missions. Accordingly, a more functional system was adopted in which each base was organized into a separate numbered unit.[3] As a result, in 1944, the squadron was disbanded and merged into the 329th Army Air Force Base Unit (Replacement Training Unit, Medium, Bombardment).[4]

The squadron was reactivated in 2011, replacing the 23d Information Operations Squadron as the support organization for the 318th Information Operations Group.[5]
