Talk:332nd Air Expeditionary Wing/Archive 1

Untitled
I disagree with the previous renditions of this page and its convoluted link to the 332d of WWII fame. USAF Lineage (post-1947) goes from wing-to-wing; while its subordinate operations GROUP is better related to 332d Fighter Group of WWII fame. If you need 'official' guidance on this, check out AF Combat Wings Lineage and History - Charles A. Rarenstein from 1984. This book establishes that the bestowed history went from the 332d FG (WWII) to the post-WW2 332d FW, which was subsequently inactivated. Flash forward to 2002, and the 332d AEW was revived with the lineage of the 332d FW (post-WW2), that *happened* to have the 332d FG (WW2) lineage, honors and history.

Bias
"The 332ng AEW will continue it's mission and traditional heritage while performing the important task in the reconstruction of a free Iraq and providing the protection of the Iraqi people from terrorist, insurgents and other enemies of freedom. From a segregated fighter group in WWII to a U.S. Air Force forward deployed wing in Iraq, the 332nd AEW proved that the legend continues."

 * Concur. This would put the 332d in line with other USAF units on Wikipedia. Ndunruh (talk) 17:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

As there's been no decenting voices I've merged the pages. Ndunruh (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
