History

[edit]

World War II

[edit]

Thegroup was first activated atLangley Field, Virginia in January 1941 as the13th Bombardment Group, with the39th,40th, and41st Bombardment Squadrons assigned and the3d Reconnaissance Squadron attached. The group was equipped with a mix ofDouglas B-18 Bolos andNorth American B-25 Mitchells. In June, the group moved toOrlando Army Air Base, Florida.[2][3][4][5][6]

After theattack on Pearl Harbor, the group was ordered to search for GermanU-boats off the southeast coast. Although theNavy was responsible for long range patrolling, it lacked the aircraft to perform the mission and theArmy Air Forces (AAF) performed the mission, even though its crews lacked proper training.[7] Asantisubmarine warfare assets were realigned to meet the growing threat in the North Atlantic, the 13th Group moved toWestover Field, Massachusetts in January 1942.[2] The following month, the 3d Reconnaissance Squadron was assigned to the group, and, in April, became the 393d Bombardment Squadron.[6]

In October 1942, the AAF organized its antisubmarine forces into the singleArmy Air Forces Antisubmarine Command, which established the25th Antisubmarine Wing the following month to control its forces operating over the Atlantic.[8][9] Itsbombardment group headquarters, including the 13th, were inactivated.[2]

Expeditionary operations

[edit]

The group was converted to provisional status, redesignated the13th Air Expeditionary Group and assigned toPacific Air Forces to activate or inactivate as needed. It has been used primarily to control operations or exercises forThirteenth Air Force. This has included acting as the air component of Joint Task Force-Support Forces Antarctica. The group commander is dual hatted as the deputy commander, JTF-SFA.[1][10]
