Military unit
The 25th Antisubmarine Wing is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last assignment was with the Army Air Forces Antisubmarine Command , based in New York City , New York. It was the principal United States Army Air Forces Unit conducting anti-submarine warfare off the East Coast of the United States and Canada until it was disbanded on 15 October 1943.[2]
In 1985 the wing was reconstituted and redesignated the 525th Combat Crew Training Group , but has never been active with that designation.
History [ edit ]
The 25th Antisubmarine Wing was activated in November 1942[2] to combat German U-boats in the coastal waters of the United States. The wing 's tactical area of responsibility ranged from Labrador south along the Atlantic Coast to the Georgia/Florida border and seaward to approximately 100 miles from coastline. The wing was disbanded on 15 October 1943[2] when its mission was transferred to United States Navy . Most of the wing's components were transferred to Second Air Force where many of them became cadres for newly forming bombardment groups .
In 1985 the wing was reconstituted as the 525th Combat Crew Training Group ,[3] but has never been active since then.
