Military unit
The 25th Space Range Squadron is a squadron of the United States Space Force. It is assigned to the Space Delta 11 at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado, US. The 25th operates the Space Test and Training Range along with the 379th Space Range Squadron of the United States Air Force Reserve.
The 25th is the second oldest unit in the United States Space Force, its earliest predecessor in the days of the USAAS being organized as the 20th Aero Squadron on 13 June 1917 at Camp Kelly, Texas, and due to a clerical error, redesignated as the 25th Aero Squadron by 22 June 1917.[5] The squadron deployed to France and fought on the Western Front during World War I as a pursuit squadron within the week before the Armistice. The unit was demobilized after the war in 1919.[5]
The squadron's second predecessor was organized as the 25th Squadron (Bombardment) in 1921 as part of the permanent United States Army Air Service. The squadron served in the Panama Canal Zone during the Inter-War period, then as part of the Twentieth Air Force in the Pacific Theater of Operations of World War II flying Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers. During the Cold War, it was part of Strategic Air Command, equipped with Boeing B-47 Stratojet medium bombers[3] until its inactivation in 1964.
On March 31, 2020, it was announced that the 25th Space Range Squadron would be moved to the newly formed United States Space Force.[6] This transfer made the 25th the oldest unit in the USSF.
