323rd ABG (ATC)

The 323rd Air Base Group (Air Training Command) was activated in 1952 at Mather Air Force Base, California, as part of the United States Air Force’s expanding Cold War training infrastructure. Tasked with providing essential base operations and support, the 323rd ABG played a critical role in sustaining navigator and electronic warfare officer training for the Air Training Command. Throughout its tenure, the unit ensured the smooth functioning of base services, security, and logistics for thousands of airmen and trainees. The group’s legacy is closely tied to the history of Mather AFB, supporting vital training missions until the base’s closure in 1993.
