907th Airlift Group The 907th Airlift Group is an inactive United States Air Force Reserve unit . It was last active with the 445th Airlift Wing , based at Wright - Patterson Air Force Base , Ohio . It was inactivated on 1 October 1994 . History . Following the mobilizations in 1961 and 1962 for the Berlin Crisis and the Cuban Missile Crisis , Continental Air Command ( ConAC ) realized that it was unwieldy to mobilize an entire wing unless absolutely necessary . Their original Table of Organization for each Wing was a wing headquarters , a troop carrier group , an Air Base Group , a maintenance and supply group , and a medical group . In 1957 , the troop carrier group and maintenance and supply groups were inactivated , with their squadrons reassigned directly to the wing headquarters - despite the fact that many wings had squadrons spread out over several bases due to the Detached Squadron Concept dispersing Reserve units over centers of population . To resolve this , in late 1962 and early 1963 , ConAC reorganized the structure of its reserve Troop Carrier Wings by establishing fully deployable Troop Carrier Groups and inserting them into the chain of command between the Wing and its squadrons at every base that held a ConAC troop carrier squadron . At each base , the group was composed of a material squadron , a troop carrier squadron , a tactical hospital or dispensary , and a combat support squadron . Each troop carrier wing consisted of 3 or 4 of these groups . By doing so , ConAC could facilitate the mobilization of either aircraft and aircrews alone , aircraft and minimum support personnel ( one troop carrier group ) , or the entire troop carrier wing . This also gave ConAC the flexibility to expand each Wing by attaching additional squadrons , if necessary from other Reserve wings to the deployable groups for deployments . As a result , the 907th Troop Carrier Group was established with a mission to organize , recruit and train Air Force Reserve personnel in the tactical airlift of airborne forces , their equipment and supplies and delivery of these forces and materials by airdrop , landing or cargo extraction systems . The group was equipped with C - 119 Flying Boxcar s for Tactical Air Command airlift operations . The 907th TCG was one of two C - 119 groups assigned to the 302d TCW in 1963 , the other being the 906th Troop Carrier Group also at Clinton County AFB . Replaced C - 119s with C - 123 Provider assault transport in 1967 , began training with special operations forces when parent 302d Tactical Airlift Wing was redesignated as a Special Operations Wing in 1970 . Inactivated in 1975 as part of post - Vietnam War drawdown . Reactivated in 1981 as an UC - 123K Provider aerial spraying unit , deployed frequently to Panama and Central America . Retired the C - 123s in 1982 , however retained four aircraft to spay for insects until June 1986 . Tail Code was " NT " . Was re - equipped with early - model C - 130A Hercules transports , flying tactical airlift missions to support Tactical Air Command . Re - equipped with newer C - 130E models from 337th TAS at Westover AFB in 1987 . Moved to Wright - Patterson AFB in 1993 and upgraded to a C - 141 Starlifter heavy intercontinental airlift unit , C - 130s being transferred to 731st TAS at Peterson AFB . Flew intercontinental airlift missions from WPAFB in support of Military Airlift Command . Personnel and equipment reassigned to 445th AW after inactivation in October 1994 .
