eglin air force base
the squadron was activated by the ninth air force commander on 2 september 1950 at turner air force base, georgia. the unit, originally designated 728th tactical control squadron was stationed at pope air force base, north carolina on 2 november 1950 followed by a move to donaldson air force base, south carolina on 16 january 1954. on 12 june 1956, the squadron was stationed at shaw air force base, south carolina. in the early 1960s, as army airborne units were training for deployment to vietnam, detachment 1 of the 728th tcs operated out of a field deployment on fort bragg and set up mobile communications systems for army field exercises. this detachment moved from fort bragg to mccoy air force base, florida in 1965 and was involved in providing radio relay communications for the inter-american peace force at san isidro ab in the dominican republic. the detachment relocated to myrtle beach air force base, south carolina in 1967 as a detachment out of shaw afb. the 728th, in those days, was an element of the air force tactical air command and supported the composite air strike force (casf). the detachment at myrtle beach afb (det 1, 728th tcs) stood down in 1969 and personnel were sent to tactical control squadrons at cannon afb, eglin afb, bergstrom afb and other bases. the 728th moved to eglin air force base auxiliary field #3 (duke field) on 15 august 1977 as a tenant unit. the squadron was finally relocated to eglin air force base proper on 5 june 1994 under the 33d fighter wing.
