309th Combat Support Group

The 309th Combat Support Group was an Air Force unit first activated during the Cold War era. It was originally organized to provide base support services—including logistics, security, and administration—for flying and operational units stationed at their assigned base. Over its period of activity, the group played a vital role in maintaining mission readiness and supporting various air operations, particularly during periods of heightened tension. The 309th Combat Support Group was eventually inactivated as part of broader Air Force organizational changes, with its functions absorbed by successor units.
