on Patches |
During World
War II, the bomb group was the basic operational unit. It was assigned to
a wing and it often failed to provide needed support. This was changed by
the 1946 Hobson Plan in which the Wing was elevated to the status of primary
operational unit. It was given the same numeric designation as the combat group.
With a few exceptions, one wing was assigned to a base. The wing was assigned
four groups: combat, maintenance and supply, facilities (base maintenance) and
medical. The combat group carried out day-to-day flight operations.
On January 4, 1952, the SAC emblem was approved.
On June 16, 1952, all of the bomb groups were inactivated. With the
interim unit gone, the wing commander became the direct combat commander.
These factors triggered the abandonment of old WWII group patches to newly
designed wing patches. |
