About 1947th ASG Pentagon

The **1947th Air Support Group (ASG) Pentagon** was established in the post-World War II era to provide essential administrative and logistical support to Air Force operations based at the Pentagon. Activated in the late 1940s, the unit was instrumental in coordinating personnel, communications, and facility management for senior Air Force leadership. Throughout the Cold War, the 1947th ASG ensured the smooth operation of critical command functions within the Air Force Headquarters. The group’s mission evolved over the decades, adapting to new technologies and organizational changes until its eventual redesignation and absorption into broader support structures.

Unit Legacy: Many of its former personnel went on to serve in higher-level Air Force and Department of Defense positions, taking with them the unit’s culture of excellence.
Commemorations: The 1947th ASG is remembered through commemorative plaques and reunions organized by former members and Pentagon staff.
Symbolism in the Name: The "1947" in its designation likely commemorates the year the United States Air Force became a separate branch of the armed forces, reflecting the unit’s strong ties to Air Force heritage.
