26th Combat Support Group

The 26th Combat Support Group was originally activated in 1952 as part of the United States Air Force, providing essential base and mission support for operational units. Stationed primarily at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the group played a crucial role in supporting NATO and U.S. Air Forces in Europe during the Cold War. Its responsibilities included security, logistics, engineering, and medical services, ensuring the readiness and effectiveness of flying and missile units. The group underwent several redesignations and was eventually inactivated in the 1990s as part of post-Cold War restructuring.
