Operational History

Beginning in 1952, the 810th Air Division assured the manning, training, and equipping of assigned units to conduct long range bombardment missions using either nuclear or conventional weapons. It developed and maintained the capability for air refueling operations using various aircraft types and trained for strategic aerospace warfare using intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Between 1966 and 1973, subordinate organizations loaned KC-135 and B-52 aircraft and crews, at various times, to Strategic Air command organizations flying Arc Light combat missions in Southeast Asia. In the spring of 1968, some aircraft and crews deployed to Okinawa in response to the Pueblo incident, when the Pueblo, a U.S. Navy vessel, was seized on the high seas by the North Koreans.

The 810th also participated in tactical exercises such as Club Car, Snow Bank, and Bar None.
