Talk:33rd Operations Group

Cold War Mission

This section still states (after an insertion of information) that the group assumed the air defense mission in December 1950. I do not believe this is accurate, but that the group had that mission from its arrival at Otis AFB. This statement may be based on an incorrect interpretation of Cornett & Johnson's Handbook of Air Defense Organization, which does not include information for the period that ADC was inactive.  ! December 1950 is the date it became a major command once again and the air defense mission and the units to accomplish it were transferred from CONAC. There is a widespread misuse of this date as the activation date for units, the date of their arrival at stations and other purposes when it is only a transfer of Major Air Command responsibilities. If anyone has authority for the proposition that the group was employed in another role at Otis before the end of 1950, I would welcome it. Lineagegeek (talk) 16:39, 27 April 2012 (UTC) P.S. This is part of the reason that I reassessed the accuracy of this page downwards.

Looking at the AFHRA Factsheet for the group, it appears that "in December" referring to December 1949 may have been misconstrued.Lineagegeek (talk) 19:10, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Aircraft Flown While Stationed in Germany

The article states the unit flew P-47s while in Germany as part of the occupation force. Maurer, Combat Units indicates it flew P-51s. The AFHRA Fact Sheet for the group does not list aircraft flown by the unit. No authority is given in the article for the unit flying P-47s in Germany. Lineagegeek (talk) 20:22, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Expeditionary operations

I removed the following from the article.

• Expeditionary Service

Operation Urgent Fury

Operation Just Cause

Operation Southern Watch

Operation Coronet Macaw

Operation Restore Hope

Operation Support Justice

Operation Uphold Democracy

The AFHRA Factsheet for the unit indicates it has no expeditionary credit. Although the group was a force provider for some or all of these operations (and perhaps others), it did not participate in them as a unit. If there's a reliable source for unit participation, they may be reinstated. Otherwise, the proper place to mention the group providing forces to particpate would be in the narrative.
