41st Electronic Combat Squadron

The 41st Electronic Combat Squadron (41st ECS) is a United States Air Force unit with a distinguished history dating back to World War II. Originally activated in 1943 as the 41st Ferrying Squadron, it evolved through several redesignations and mission changes, ultimately focusing on electronic warfare. During the Cold War and beyond, the squadron specialized in electronic combat operations, including jamming enemy radar and communications to protect allied forces. Today, the 41st ECS operates the EC-130H Compass Call aircraft, providing critical electronic attack capabilities in support of U.S. and allied operations worldwide.
