Strategic Air Command

810th Air Division
 

    Activated in 1952, the 810th Air Division assured the manning, training, and equipping of assigned units to conduct long-range bombardment missions using either nuclear or conventional weapons. The division also developed and maintained the capability for air refueling operations and strategic aerospace warfare using intercontinental ballistic missiles
    Between 1966 and 1973, subordinate organizations loaned KC-135 and B-52 aircraft and crews, at various times, to Strategic Air Command organizations flying Arc Light combat missions in Southeast Asia. In the spring of 1968, some aircraft and crews of subordinate units deployed to Okinawa in response to the Pueblo incident. (The North Koreans seized the Pueblo, a U.S. Navy vessel, on the high seas.) The 810th also participated in tactical exercises such as Club Car, Snow Bank, and Bar None.
