The 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron (32 TFS), known as the "Wolfhounds," was originally activated in 1940 as part of the United States Army Air Corps. During World War II, the unit served in the defense of the Panama Canal before being inactivated and later reactivated during the Cold War. From 1955 to 1994, the 32 TFS was based at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands, where it played a crucial role in NATO air defense, operating aircraft such as the F-86 Sabre, F-100 Super Sabre, F-102 Delta Dagger, and F-15 Eagle. The squadron was inactivated in 1994 following the end of the Cold War and the restructuring of U.S. Air Forces in Europe.
