Operational squadrons of the group were the 16th, 25th, 26th and 449th.

For 18 months the 17th was the only operational squadron on the base.

The 121st was assigned to the 113th as its operational squadron.

Operational squadrons of the 475th were the 431st, 432d and 433rd Fighter.

The aircraft was declared ready for service in 1952, but never reached an operational squadron.

Low rate production is to start in March 2015, with the first operational squadron being fully equipped by 2016.

Also in 1996, the wing gained yet another operational squadron.

At the same time, the size of operational squadrons reduced from 12 aircraft to nine.

These were the last two operational squadrons to fly from the airfield.

The 28th's operational squadrons could conceivably touch anywhere in the world to meet national defense needs.
