Established in 1958, the 4310th
Air Division supervised the
Strategic Air Command's Reflex forces in Morocco. The Reflex force concept
involved deploying bombardment aircraft non-stop from the United States to
forward sites, with one air refueling. These aircraft remained on alert status
for a specified number of days, then redeployed back to the United States.
The division never had any assigned units, such as wings, only individual
aircraft that were assigned to wings back in the United States. The
division commander also acted as a representative to the Moroccan Liaison Office
for the Commander, Sixteenth Air Force
