, an advanced ground surveillance and battle management system. Joint STARS detects, locates, classifies, tracks and targets ground movements on the battlefield, communicating real-time information through secure data links with U.S. Forces command posts.
. Shortly afterwards on 1 October 1942, it was re-designated as the 353d Fighter Group
and assigned to Eighth Air Force
. They operated against the enemy in combat over Europe from August 1943 to April 1945, using P-47's until October 1944, and then converting to P-51 Mustang
s for the remainder of the war. The unit regularly escorted bombers that attacked industrial establishments, marshaling yards, submarine installations, V-weapon sites, and other targets. They frequently strafed and dive-bombed buildings, troops, flak batteries, barges and tug boats, locomotives and rail lines, vehicles, bridges, and airfields while also flying numerous counter-air missions.
From August 1943 to February 1944, they provided escort for bombers that attacked targets in western Europe, made counter-air sweeps over France and the low countries, and dive-bombed targets in France. The wing participated in the intensive campaign against the German Air Force and aircraft industry during Big Week
, 20–25 February 1944. Between March and May 1944, it increased its fighter-bomber activities. In June 1944, it provided cover over the beachhead and close support for the Normandy invasion.
In July 1944, it supported the breakthrough at Saint-Lô
. It won a DUC for supporting the airborne attack on Holland, when the group contributed to the operation by protecting bombers and troop carriers and by strafing and dive-bombing ground targets during the period 17–23 September 1944. The wing continued its fighter-bomber, escort, and counter-air activities, participating in the Battle of the Bulge
(December 1944 – January 1945) and the airborne attack across the Rhine (March 1945).
The 116th remained in the theater until October 1945. It was inactivated in the US on 18 October 1945 at Camp Kilmer
, New Jersey.
and stood up on 9 September 1946 under the 54th Fighter Wing at Dobbins
(formerly Marietta) AFB.
, the Group activated and moved to George AFB, California where it reorganized under Tactical Air Command
(TAC) as the 116th Fighter Bomber Wing flying the F-84 Thunderjet
.
The group moved to Japan in July 1951 and attached to Far East Air Forces for operations in the Korean War. They flew interdictory and close-support missions, strafing and dive-bombing power plants, buildings, mine entrances, gun positions, bunkers, troops, rail lines, trains, bridges, and vehicles. During the same period, also the group provided air defense for Japan.
Relieved from active duty, the group returned to control of Georgia Air National Guard
without personnel and equipment, and was re-designated the 116th Fighter-Interceptor Group, on 10 July 1952. It was subsequently re-designated the 116th Fighter-Bomber Group in December 1952.
, Japan in July 1951 to support the air defense of the northern portion of the island. Beginning in December 1951 the wing flew attack missions against North Korea
n forces until July 1952 when it returned to state control in Georgia at Dobbins AFB. There it continued to fly fighter aircraft until 1961, including F-51 Mustangs, F-84F Thunderstreak
s, F-84D Thunderjets, and F-86L Sabres.
After flying fighters and bombers since its initial activation, the 116th became the Georgia ANG Air Transport Wing on 1 June 1961 and converted to the C-97
"Stratofreighter" transport, marking a major change in wing history. Later, in December 1966, it became the first ANG unit to receive the new C-124 Globemaster.
Numerous combat support missions to every corner of the globe, including Vietnam, kept the 116th busy until it again became a fighter unit in 1974, equipped with the F-100D Super Saber. Designated as the 116th Tactical Fighter Wing, the 116th flew the Super Saber jets for six accident-free years until May 1979 when the last aircraft left Dobbins AFB for the "Bone-yard" at Davis Monthan AFB in Arizona. From then until 1996, the 116th flew F-105G Wild Weasels, F-4D Phantoms, and F-15A
/B Eagles at Dobbins AFB, Georgia. During this period, the wing developed an impressive record of accomplishment and was awarded nine Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards.
and moved 110 miles south to Robins AFB in Warner Robins, Georgia
. Having to make the most of the available facilities, including the former Strategic Air Command
alert facility, the 116th Bomb Wing was quickly up and running and participated in a number of deployments and exercises around the world in the B-1B.
In the summer of 2001, in order to streamline the B-1 Bomber program, the Department of Defense reorganized the fleet, which required that they leave Robins AFB. Immediately the 116th began the initial stages of an untried process with a vast amount of potential benefit to the Air Force, transitioning into the first ever "blended wing". The new wing was to be composed of active duty and ANG personnel, facilities and equipment of both the 116th BW and the co-located active-duty 93d Air Control Wing
(ACW), which operated the E-8C Joint STARS battlefield surveillance aircraft.
As a result of an effort by Donald Rumsfeld
to reduce the B-1 fleet to 60 by moving the ones with the Georgia ANG to Dyess AFB, Texas, there was an uproar because of the directly and indirectly related jobs that would be lost in Georgia. To find middle ground, the General Accounting Office looked into a means to support 1172 military jobs in Georgia. As a result, the 116th Bomb Wing and 93d Air Control Wing merged to form the 116th Air Control Wing in Georgia. This wing currently supports operations around the world as the only U.S. Air Force organization operating the Joint STARS aircraft.
On November 24, 2010, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Designated the 116th Air Control Wing as an "Active Associate" wing and reorganized the "blended" wing concept. As a result of this reorganization, a new active duty Associate Wing was formed. The structure is an Active Association, composed of the Georgia Air Guard's 116th ACW, and active duty's 461st Air Control Wing
. They will continue to operate together to accomplish the shared J-STARS mission by integrating Air Guard and active duty personnel to the maximum extent possible in groups, squadrons, and shops. The Active Association model is one in which a reserve component (the Air Guard) has principal responsibility for the weapon system that it shares with one or more Active Duty Units.
