416th Combat Support Group

The 416th Combat Support Group was originally activated in 1953 as part of the United States Air Force. Stationed at Griffiss Air Force Base in New York, the group provided vital support functions, including base operations, logistics, and maintenance for the 416th Bombardment Wing and other assigned units. Throughout its active years, the 416th Combat Support Group played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of the base during the Cold War era. The unit was inactivated in 1964 as part of a broader reorganization of Air Force support units.
