- The 136th Operations Group is a component of the 136th Airlift Wing of the Texas Air National Guard. It was first activated in June 1943 as the 368th Fighter Group. After training with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts in the United States, it deployed to the European Theater of Operations, where it began combat operations in March 1944. Shortly after D-Day, the group moved to the continent of Europe, continuing operations until May 1945. The group was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation and the Belgian Fourragère for its combat operations and being credited with the destruction of 120 enemy aircraft in air to air combat. It served in the occupation forces until the spring of 1946, when it inactivated and transferred its personnel and equipment to another unit. The group was redesignated the 136th Fighter Group and activated in the National Guard. It received federal recognition in February 1947 and trained with North American P-51 Mustangs until October 1950, when it was mobilized for the Korean War as the 136th Fighter-Bomber Group. After converting to jet Republic F-84 Thunderjets, it moved to the Pacific, where it entered combat once again. In July 1952, the group was inactivated and once again replaced by another unit. The group was activated in the Texas Air National Guard the same day it was inactivated in Korea as the 136th Fighter-Interceptor Group. It served in the air defense role under different names and operating different aircraft until 1964, when it converted to Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighters as the 136th Air Refueling Group. In 1974, the group was inactivated along with other Air National Guard groups located on the same bases as their parent wings. The group was reactivated as the 136th Operations Group in 1992, when the Air National Guard adopted the Objective Wing organization. It has operated the Lockheed C-130 Hercules in the airlift role since then., (en)
