The 2nd Combat Support Group (2nd CSG) was a United States Air Force unit primarily stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. Activated in 1981, its mission was to provide comprehensive support services—including logistics, security, engineering, and personnel support—to the 2nd Bomb Wing and other associated units. The group played a pivotal role in maintaining the readiness and operational capabilities of Barksdale’s bomber fleet during the latter part of the Cold War. In 1992, following an Air Force-wide organizational restructuring, the 2nd Combat Support Group was inactivated and its functions were absorbed by the newly formed 2nd Support Group.
