322nd ASD

The 322nd Air Support Division (ASD) was established during the height of the Cold War to provide tactical command and control for air operations in support of ground forces. Activated in the early 1950s, the unit initially operated out of bases in Western Europe, playing a crucial role in NATO exercises and readiness during periods of heightened tension. The 322nd ASD specialized in coordinating close air support missions, air interdiction, and reconnaissance, ensuring effective integration between air and land components. Over the years, the division adapted to new technologies and doctrines before being inactivated as part of post-Cold War force restructuring.
