The 823 Aircraft Support Squadron was established in 1952 to provide logistical and technical support for frontline combat aviation units. During the Korean War, the squadron played a vital role in maintaining and rapidly rearming fighter and bomber aircraft, ensuring sustained air operations. In the Vietnam War, the 823rd deployed advanced maintenance teams to forward bases, which significantly improved aircraft turnaround times. Over the decades, the squadron adapted to evolving technologies and now specializes in integrated support for modern multi-role aircraft, underpinning operational readiness in diverse theaters.
