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.
