825th Aerospace Division

The 825th Aerospace Division was an inactive unit of the United States Air Force, organized in 1955 as part of Strategic Air Command (SAC). Headquartered at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, the division was responsible for overseeing and commanding multiple strategic bombardment wings equipped with B-47 Stratojet bombers and KC-97 Stratofreighter tankers. Its primary mission was to manage and support SAC’s nuclear deterrence and global strike capabilities during the height of the Cold War. The 825th Aerospace Division was inactivated in 1966 as part of a broader reorganization of SAC’s command structure.
