Military unit

The **100th Fighter Squadron** is a unit of the [Alabama Air National Guard](/source/Alabama_Air_National_Guard) [187th Fighter Wing](/source/187th_Fighter_Wing) located at [Dannelly Field](/source/Montgomery_Air_National_Guard_Base), Alabama. The 100th is equipped with the [Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II](/source/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II).

The [squadron](/source/Squadron_(aviation)) was one of the [Tuskegee Airmen](/source/Tuskegee_Airmen) squadrons during [World War II](/source/World_War_II), one of the famous all-black squadrons of the [332d Fighter Group](/source/332d_Fighter_Group), activated on 19 February 1942 at [Tuskegee Army Air Field](/source/Tuskegee_Army_Air_Field), Alabama. It was returned to duty in 2007 as a replacement of the [160th Fighter Squadron](/source/160th_Fighter_Squadron) so the state could honor the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.

## History

### World War II

Established in February 1942 at [Tuskegee Army Air Field](/source/Tuskegee_Army_Air_Field), Alabama to train African-American flight cadets graduated from the [Tuskegee Institute Army contract flying school](/source/Tuskegee_Airmen_National_Historic_Site). At Tuskegee, the squadron performed advanced combat flying training. As the number of graduated from the Tuskegee school grew, two additional squadrons the [301st](/source/301st_Fighter_Squadron) and [302nd Fighter Squadrons](/source/302nd_Fighter_Squadron_(United_States)) were activated at Tuskegee Army Air Field, forming the [332nd Fighter Group](/source/332d_Fighter_Group).

Due to the segregated status of the Army Air Forces in 1942 and the reluctance by the service to deploy African Americans into combat, the 332nd remained in an extended training status. The Group was transferred to [Selfridge Field](/source/Selfridge_Field), near Detroit, Michigan in March 1943 after the decision was reached to deploy the unit. Racial tensions in the Detroit area, however, forced a move to [Oscoda Army Air Field](/source/Oscoda_Army_Air_Field), in isolated northeast Michigan the next month where the final training of the unit was performed by First Air Force. However, the unit was delayed again going into combat, and also was sent back to Selfridge upon completion of training at Oscoda to perform [Air defense](/source/Air_defense) flights over the Detroit area beginning in July 1943.

For six months, the unit remained at Selfridge until pressure on the Army led to the decision to deploy the 100th to the [Fifteenth Air Force](/source/Fifteenth_Air_Force) in Italy at the end of 1943, under the command of [Robert B. Tresville](/source/Robert_B._Tresville), to support the strategic aerial bombardment campaign being carried out by [Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress](/source/Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortress) and [Consolidated B-24 Liberator](/source/Consolidated_B-24_Liberator) Heavy bombers from newly established air bases in the [Foggia, Italy](/source/Foggia_Airfield_Complex) area.

As the [Italian Campaign](/source/Italian_campaign_(World_War_II)) pushed further north into Italy during 1944, the squadron moved to operate from forward captured air bases, flying bomber escort missions initially with [Republic P-47 Thunderbolts](/source/Republic_P-47_Thunderbolt), then being upgraded to the long-range [North American P-51D Mustang](/source/North_American_P-51D_Mustang) fighter. In combat, the unit engaged enemy forces in the Rome-Arno area, then during the [D-Day](/source/Normandy_landings) landings in France, took part in the Normandy and Northern France campaigns. It returned to the MTO in August 1944, flying combat missions supporting [Operation Dragoon](/source/Operation_Dragoon), the invasion of southern France, and attacking enemy targets in Northern Italy, Po Valley, the German Rhineland and the [Western Allied invasion of Germany](/source/Western_Allied_invasion_of_Germany) during March and April 1945.

With the end of the War in Europe in May 1945, the squadron was returned to Southern Italy, being stationed at [Lucera Airfield](/source/Lucera_Airfield), near Foggia where the unit slowly was demobilized and personnel returned to the United States. The 100th Fighter Squadron was inactivated at [Camp Kilmer](/source/Camp_Kilmer), New Jersey in mid-October 1945.

### Cold War

The 332nd was reactivated as part of [Tactical Air Command](/source/Tactical_Air_Command) [Ninth Air Force](/source/Ninth_Air_Force) at [Lockbourne Army Air Base](/source/Lockbourne_Army_Air_Base) (Later Lockbourne Air Force Base), near [Columbus, Ohio](/source/Columbus%2C_Ohio) in July 1947, again as a segregated African-American unit of the Army Air Forces (later [United States Air Force](/source/United_States_Air_Force)). At Lockbourne, the Wing was equipped with new [F-47N Thunderbolts](/source/F-47N_Thunderbolt) that were designed for very-long range flights in the Pacific Theater to attack ground targets in the [Japanese Home Islands](/source/Japanese_Home_Islands). However, the aircraft were never deployed due to the sudden end of the War in August 1945. At Lockbourne, the squadron participated in firepower demonstrations, gunnery training, and operational missions to maintain combat proficiency. The African-American segregated unit was inactivated in July 1949 as a result of President [Harry S. Truman](/source/Harry_S._Truman)'s [Executive Order 9981](/source/Executive_Order_9981). EO 9981 abolished racial discrimination in the United States Armed Forces. The 100th's personnel and equipment were reassigned to other units.

## Air refueling

The **100th Air Refueling Squadron** was activated by [Strategic Air Command](/source/Strategic_Air_Command) (SAC) in 1953, and equipped with [Boeing KB-29 Superfortress](/source/Boeing_KB-29_Superfortress) tankers, based at [Robins Air Force Base](/source/Robins_Air_Force_Base), near [Warner Robins](/source/Warner_Robins), Georgia. The squadron primarily performed [air refueling](/source/Air_refueling) of SAC's [Boeing B-50 Superfortress](/source/Boeing_B-50_Superfortress) medium bombers using a primitive "looped hose" refueling system. In 1954, the squadron moved to [Pease Air Force Base](/source/Pease_Air_Force_Base), New Hampshire; received [Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighters](/source/Boeing_KC-97_Stratofreighter) and performed air refueling with SAC's [Boeing B-47 Stratojet](/source/Boeing_B-47_Stratojet) units, deploying frequently to England and Morocco to operate from [Operation Reflex](/source/Operation_Reflex) bases to refuel SAC bombers prior to their planned flights into Communist-controlled Eastern Europe and the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union). The 100th Air Refueling Squadron continued to operate from Pease until the end of the B-47 and Reflex era in 1966, at which point the unit was inactivated.

In 1985, the 100th Fighter Squadron and 100th Air Refueling Squadron were consolidated into a single unit. [Air Training Command](/source/Air_Training_Command) reactivated the consolidated unit 100th as the **100th Flying Training Squadron** at [Williams Air Force Base](/source/Williams_Air_Force_Base), Phoenix, Arizona in September 1989 to demonstrate the feasibility of Air Training Command's plan for five flying training squadrons at each pilot training base. Its instructor pilots provided incoming pilots qualification in [Cessna T-37 Tweet](/source/Cessna_T-37_Tweet) and [northrop T-38 Talon](/source/Northrop_T-38_Talon) aircraft, and as instructor pilots. The squadron was inactivated as part of the post-Cold War drawdown of the Air Force in 1993.

The 100th was again reactivated as a flying training squadron at [Randolph Air Force Base](/source/Randolph_Air_Force_Base), Texas, equipped with [Beechcraft T-6 Texan II](/source/Beechcraft_T-6_Texan_II), [Raytheon T-1 Jayhawk](/source/Raytheon_T-1_Jayhawk) and Northrop T-38C Talon trainers. It provided flight training to new air force pilot trainees throughout the early 21st century.

### Alabama Air National Guard

More than 150 US Air National Guardsmen from the 187th Fighter Wing, the Alabama Air National Guard unit at Dannelly Field ANGB in Montgomery, deployed to Romania in August to participate in Dacian Viper 2012, a three-week joint exercise with the Romanian Air Force.

In 2007, the Alabama legislature requested the [National Guard Bureau](/source/National_Guard_Bureau) to allow the [Alabama Air National Guard](/source/Alabama_Air_National_Guard) to replace its [160th Fighter Squadron](/source/160th_Fighter_Squadron) with the **100th Fighter Squadron** so the state could honor the legacy of the World War II Tuskegee Airmen. This was obtained from the Air Force and on 12 September 2009, the 100th Flying Training Squadron was inactivated. The designation was transferred to the National Guard Bureau by the Air Force and it was allotted to the Alabama ANG. As a result, the 160th Fighter Squadron was inactivated, and the new 100th Fighter Squadron assumed its personnel, equipment and aircraft. The 160th Fighter Squadron stood down in a ceremony at [Montgomery Air National Guard Base](/source/Montgomery_Air_National_Guard_Base), on 13 September 2007, with the 100th Fighter Squadron standing up.

From the onset the squadron started training on the block 30 version of the [General Dynamics F-16C/D Fighting Falcon](/source/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon_variants#Main_production_variants) that carried over from the 160th. The squadron flies the F-16 in a traditional air defense and conventional attack role.

In August 2009, the 100th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron deployed 240 airmen and aircraft to [Balad Air Base](/source/Balad_Air_Base), Iraq as part of the 332nd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron supporting [Operation Iraq Freedom](/source/Operation_Iraq_Freedom). This was the first deployment of the 100th FS to the middle east and over 2,000 hours were flown and Precision Guided Munitions were employed. The unit returned to Montgomery in November 2009.

The squadron deployed to Romania in August 2012 to participate in Dacian Viper 2012, a three-week joint exercise with the [Romanian Air Force](/source/Romanian_Air_Force). The Alabama ANG contingent, which included nearly twenty fighter pilots and eight F-16s, exercised with approximately 200 Romanian soldiers, technical staff, and pilots flying six [Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21](/source/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-21) Lancer fighters at [71st Air Base](/source/RoAF_71st_Air_Base), located near the town of [Câmpia Turzii](/source/C%C3%A2mpia_Turzii) in the northwestern part of Romania.[2] The squadron returned to Romania in 2015, taking part in combined air operations during the Dacian Viper 2015 exercise.[3]

In December 2017, the Air Force announced that the 100th was one of two Air National Guard squadrons selected for equipping with the [Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II](/source/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II). The conversion to the [fifth-generation jet fighter](/source/Fifth-generation_jet_fighter) is scheduled for 2023.[4] On 21 April, the squadron retired its F-16 fighters and will continue its conversion process to the F-35 which arrived in December. Full operational readiness is to be achieved until February 2026.[5][6] The first three F-35As (*18-5414*, *18-5420* and *20-5628*) were delivered to the 100th FS on 6 December 2023.[7]
