868 Medical Group ( SAC)

The **868th Medical Group (SAC)** was a United States Air Force medical unit assigned to the Strategic Air Command. Activated during the Cold War era, it provided comprehensive medical, dental, and preventive health services to support SAC operations and personnel. The group played a crucial role in maintaining the health and readiness of aircrews and support staff, particularly during periods of heightened alert and strategic deployments. The 868th Medical Group contributed significantly to SAC’s mission readiness until its eventual inactivation as part of post-Cold War Air Force restructuring.
