4315th Combat Crew Training Squadron

The 4315th Combat Crew Training Squadron was a United States Air Force unit established to provide specialized training for Strategic Air Command (SAC) crews. Activated in 1963 and stationed at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, the squadron focused primarily on academic and simulator training for aircrews operating the B-52 Stratofortress and KC-135 Stratotanker. Throughout its existence, the 4315th played a critical role in ensuring the readiness and proficiency of SAC bomber and tanker crews during the height of the Cold War. The unit was inactivated in 1993 following the end of the Cold War and the resultant restructuring of the Air Force's training programs.
