92d Bombardment Group

The 92d Bombardment Group was established on 28 January 1942. It was activated at Barksdale Field (now Barksdale Air Force Base) on 1 March 1942. During World War II the group flew B-17 Flying Fortress bombers as a component of the Eighth Air Force. The group was based in England from 18 May 1942 to sometime in June 1945 when it moved to Istres Air Base, France.

92d Operations Group

When the 92d BG was reactivated after 39 years as an inactive unit, it was renamed to 92d Operations Group even though some of its components were flying B-52 bombers. As part of their new mission, the 92d also gained two squadrons of KC-135 tankers. The 92 OG ended B-52 alert duties in Sep 1992, and from Feb 1993, performed air sampling missions for the Department of Energy with modified B-52Hs. The group's mission changed to solely air refueling in 1994. During 1993 the group also had a UH-1 helicopter squadron, but this unit was gone by 1994 as were the B-52s.

Today the 92d Operations Group is only responsible for KC-135 operations. The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is an aerial refueling tanker aircraft, first manufactured in 1956 and expected to remain in service into the 2020s. ...

This aircraft realignment was a result of the 92d Bomb Wing becoming the 92d Air Refueling Wing.
