The 380th Air Refueling Squadron (ARS), assigned to the 68th Air Refueling Group (AREFG), traces its origins to the post-World War II era, originally activated to support the growing needs of Strategic Air Command. Equipped primarily with aerial refueling aircraft such as the KC-97 Stratofreighter and later the KC-135 Stratotanker, the squadron played a vital role in extending the range and endurance of U.S. bomber and reconnaissance missions during the Cold War. As part of the 68th AREFG, the 380th ARS participated in numerous key exercises and operations, providing critical air refueling support to both nuclear deterrence and conventional missions. The unit’s legacy is marked by its adaptability and professionalism, contributing to U.S. Air Force global reach before its eventual inactivation as the Air Force reorganized its refueling assets.
