The 127th Operations Group is a unit of the Michigan Air National Guard. It is stationed at Selfridge Air National Guard Base and 1s one of two flying groups assigned to the 127th Wing. The group operates Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II ground attack aircraft.

The group was first formed during World War II as the 361st Fighter Group. It served in the European Theater of Operations as part of VIII Fighter Command, flying its last mission on 20 April 1945.

In 1946, the group was allotted to the Air National Guard as the 127th Fighter Group. In 1951, as a result of the Korean War, the group was called to active duty, and trained pilots for the United States Air Force as the 127th Pilot Training Group. In November 1952, it was returned to the Michigan Air National Guard as the 127th Fighter-Bomber Group. in 1955, it became the 127th Fighter-Interceptor Group and in 1958 converted to the aerial reconnaissance mission as the 127th Tactical Reconnaissance Group. It resumed the fighter mission in 1972 as the 127th Tactical Fighter Group, but was inactivated two years later. With the implementation of the Objective Wing organization, the group was again activated as the 127th Operations Group.
