The squadron was equipped with the SM-65F Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile, with a mission of nuclear deterrence.

After training in the United States, it deployed to England, where it participated in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany. The squadron was twice awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation for its actions during the war. Following V-E Day, the squadron returned to the United States, where it was inactivated.
