The 928th Tactical Airlift Group was a unit of the United States Air Force Reserve, activated in 1963 and stationed at O’Hare International Airport, Illinois. The group was primarily assigned to provide tactical airlift support, operating aircraft such as the C-119 Flying Boxcar and later the C-130 Hercules to transport troops, cargo, and equipment. Throughout its service, the 928th participated in numerous training exercises and humanitarian missions, both within the United States and overseas. The unit was inactivated in 1997, following post-Cold War restructuring and the closure of its base at O’Hare.
