7101st Tactical Squad

The 7101st Tactical Squad was a specialized unit formed during the late stages of the Korean War, primarily composed of U.S. Air Force personnel. Activated in 1952, the squad focused on rapid-response tactical operations, including reconnaissance and close air support missions along the Korean Peninsula’s front lines. The unit distinguished itself by pioneering new night-time air strike techniques and integrating advanced communication systems to coordinate with allied ground forces. After the armistice in 1953, the 7101st Tactical Squad continued to serve in a training and advisory capacity before being deactivated in 1955 as part of post-war restructuring.
