51st OG

The **51st Operations Group (51st OG)** is a key component of the United States Air Force, currently assigned to the 51st Fighter Wing at Osan Air Base, South Korea. Originally activated as the 51st Pursuit Group in 1941, the unit distinguished itself in World War II and later the Korean War, flying combat missions and earning numerous citations for valor. Reactivated during the Cold War and reorganized under the Objective Wing structure in 1992, the 51st OG continues to provide air defense and offensive air capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region. Today, it operates advanced fighter aircraft, maintaining readiness to defend the Republic of Korea and support U.S. interests in the region.
