964th AEW-C Squadron

The 964th Airborne Early Warning and Control Squadron (964th AEW-C Squadron) was activated during the Cold War as part of the United States Air Force's efforts to enhance aerial surveillance and command capabilities. Originally equipped with EC-121 Warning Star aircraft, the squadron played a vital role in providing airborne radar coverage and early warning against potential threats. Over the decades, the unit transitioned to operating the advanced E-3 Sentry AWACS, participating in numerous operations and exercises worldwide, including Operations Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom. Today, the 964th AEW-C Squadron continues to serve as a key component of U.S. air defense, specializing in airborne command, control, and battle management missions.
