Military unit
The 385th Bombardment Squadron was a United States Army Air Forces unit active during World War II. After training in the United States, it deployed to the China-Burma-India Theater, but was disbanded shortly after arriving in India. The 785th Tactical Fighter Squadron was activated along with the 32nd Tactical Fighter Wing at George Air Force Base, California in April 1964. However, in July 1964, the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing replaced the 32d Wing and the 785th transferred its personnel and equipment to another squadron. The two squadrons were consolidated in 1985 as the 785th Tactical Air Support Training Squadron, but the consolidated squadron has not been active.
