The 545th Test Group is an inactive group of the United States Air Force. It was organized at Hill Air Force Base, Utah as the 6545th Test Group in January 1979 to manage the Utah Test and Training Range and the development of unmanned aerial vehicles. In 1994, it transferred its flight testing mission to Ogden Air Logistics Center, and in 1996 the 388th Fighter Wing assumed its range management, and the group was inactivated.
In October 1992, the group was consolidated with the 545th Tactical Airlift Group, formerly the 5th Ferrying Group, a World War II unit of the United States Army Air Forces (AAF). It was activated in February 1942 as the California Sector, Ferrying Command, but soon changed its name. It ferried aircraft manufactured in the Southwestern United States until March 1944, when it was disbanded in a general reorganization of AAF units in the United States. It was replaced by the 556th Army Air Forces Base Unit, which continued its mission until August 1946. The group was reconstituted in 1985 as the 545th Tactical Airlift Group, but was not active under that designation.
