926th TAG

The 926th Tactical Airlift Group (TAG) was a unit of the United States Air Force Reserve, activated in 1963 at Naval Air Station New Orleans, Louisiana. Initially equipped with the C-119 Flying Boxcar, the group’s mission focused on tactical airlift operations, supporting both training and real-world missions. In the 1970s, the unit transitioned to the C-130 Hercules, enhancing its airlift capability and versatility. The 926th TAG played a vital role in air mobility operations and was later redesignated as the 926th Airlift Group, continuing its service until further organizational changes in the Air Force Reserve structure.
