14th Combat Support Group

The **14th Combat Support Group** was originally activated in 1953 as part of the United States Air Force, providing essential base operations and support services for the 14th Fighter Wing at various locations, including Japan and later the United States. Throughout its active years, the group was responsible for logistics, civil engineering, security, and other crucial functions that enabled air combat units to maintain readiness and operational capability. It played a significant role during the Cold War period, ensuring that tactical fighter squadrons were fully supported in their missions. The 14th Combat Support Group was inactivated in 1972, with its functions absorbed by successor organizations as part of USAF restructuring efforts.
