Like some weapons squadrons, the 328 WPS manages two separate syllabi: the Space Weapons Instructor Course (WIC) and the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) WIC. History Established in early 1942 initially as a B-24 Liberator reconnaissance squadron, flying antisubmarine patrols. Later being redesignated as a heavy bomb group; trained under Third Air Force in Florida. Completed training in late 1942; deploying to European Theater of Operations (ETO) as one of the initial heavy bomber squadrons assigned to VIII Bomber Command in England, September 1942. Engaged in long-ranger strategic bombardment operations over Occupied Europe. Deployed to IX Bomber Command in Egypt in December 1942; operating from airfields in Libya and Tunisia. Raided enemy military and industrial targets in Italy and in the southern Balkans, including the Nazi-controlled oilfields at Polesti, Romania, receiving a Distinguished Unit Citation for its gallantry in that raid. Also flew tactical bombing raids against Afrika Korps defensive positions in Tunisia; supporting British Eighth Army forces in their advance to Tunis, in September and October 1943. Returned to England with disestablishment of IX Bomber Command in North Africa. From England, resumed long-range strategic bombardment raids on Occupied Europe and Nazi Germany, attacking enemy military and industrial targets as part of the United States' air offensive. The squadron was one of the most highly decorated units in the Eighth Air Force, continuing offensive attacks until the German capitulation in May, 1945. Returned to the United States in June, 1945; being re-manned and re-equipped with B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers. Trained for deployment to the Central Pacific Area to carry out very long range strategic bombing raids over Japan. Japanese capitulation in August canceled plans for deployment, instead became Continental Air Command (later Strategic Air Command) B-29 squadron. During the Cold War, the squadron was equipped with new weapons systems as they became available, performing strategic bombardment training with the B-50 Superfortress, an advanced version of the B-29 in 1950. The B-50 gave the unit the capability to carry heavy loads of conventional weapons faster and farther as well as being designed for atomic bomb missions if necessary. By 1951, the emergence of the Soviet Mig-21 interceptor in the skies of North Korea signaled the end of the propeller-driven B-50 as a first-line strategic bomber. Received B-47 Stratojet jet bombers in 1954, and in 1955 began receiving early model of the B-52 Stratofortress, upgraded to various models over the next 40 years. Taken off nuclear alert after the end of the Cold War, the squadron was inactivated in 1994 with the inactivation of its parent unit and the closure of Castle AFB. Reactivated as a USAF Weapons Squadron in 2003, the unit has graduated over 200 Weapons Officers.[2] Lineage Constituted 328th Bombardment Squadron (Heavy) on 28 Jan 1942 Activated on 1 Mar 1942 Redesignated: 328th Bombardment Squadron, Heavy on 20 Aug 1943 Redesignated: 328th Bombardment Squadron, Very Heavy on 23 May 1945 Redesignated: 328th Bombardment Squadron, Medium on 28 May 1948 Redesignated: 328th Bombardment Squadron, Heavy on 1 Feb 1955 Redesignated: 328th Bomb Squadron on 1 Sep 1991 Inactivated on 15 Jun 1994 Redesignated 328th Weapons Squadron on 24 Jan 2003 Activated on 3 Feb 2003 Assignments 93d Bombardment Group, 1 Mar 1942 93d Bombardment Wing, attached 10 Feb 1951, assigned 16 Jun 1952 93d Operations Group, 1 Sep 1991-15 Jun 1994 USAF Weapons School, 3 Feb 2003–Present Stations Barksdale Field, Louisiana, 1 Mar 194 Page Field, Florida, 18 May-13 Aug 1942 RAF Alconbury (AAF-102), England, 7 Sep 1942 RAF Hardwick (AAF-104), Englandc. 6 Dec 1942-15 Jun 1945 Air echelon operated from: Tafaraoui Airfield, Algeria, 7–15 Dec 1942 Air echelon operated from: RAF Gambut, Libya, 16 Dec 1942-25 Feb 1943 Air echelon operated from: Bengasi Airport, Libya, 27 Jun-25 Aug 1943 Air echelon operated from: Oudna Airfield, Tunisia, 18 Sep-3 Oct 1943 Sioux Falls Army Air Field, South Dakota, 26 Jun-26 Jul 1945 Pratt Army Air Field, Kansas, 20 Aug 1945 Clovis Army Air Field, New Mexico, 13 Dec 1945 Castle Field (later, AFB), California, 21 Jun 1946-15 Jun 1994 Flight of aircraft and personnel deployed to 1708th Provisional Bombardment Wing, Prince Abdulla AB, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Aug 1990-Mar 1991 (Operation Desert Storm) Flight of aircraft and personnel deployed to 4300th Provisional Bombardment Wing, Diego Garcia AB, British Indian Ocean Territories, Jan-Mar 1991 (Operation Desert Storm) Nellis AFB, Nevada, 3 Feb 2003–Present Aircraft operated B-52H (1974–1993) B-52G (1966–1967;
