The 108th Operations Group is a unit of the 108th Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard, stationed at the McGuire AFB entity of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. If activated to federal service with the U.S. Air Force, the group is gained by Air Mobility Command. Its primary mission is air refueling, currently performed with Boeing KC-46 Pegasus tankers. The group also commands an intelligence squadron and a contingency response squadron, and previously operated a special operations airlift squadron. Its World War II predecessor, the 348th Fighter Group, was the most successful Republic P-47 Thunderbolt group in the Southwest Pacific Theater, credited with 396 aerial victories over half of all P-47 kills credited to Fifth Air Force. Its commander, Colonel Neel E. Kearby, was awarded the Medal of Honor for single-handedly destroying six enemy aircraft in one mission over Wewak on 11 October 1943. The group produced more than twenty flying aces and earned two Distinguished Unit Citations during the war. After converting to North American P-51 Mustangs in 1945, the group ended the war flying ground-support missions in the Philippines and strikes against targets in Japan from Ie Shima. Following World War II, the group was redesignated as the 108th Fighter Group and allotted to the New Jersey National Guard in 1946, where it has served continuously in various forms since. It was mobilized for the Korean War in 1951 and again during the Berlin Crisis of 1961. Over the decades it has transitioned through fighter, fighter-bomber, interceptor, tactical fighter, and finally air refueling missions. The group received its current designation as the 108th Operations Group in 1993 when it was equipped with Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers, transitioning to the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus in 2023.
