The 98th Air Refueling Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last assignment was with the 92d Operations Group at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, where it was inactivated on 1 July 1998.
Two of the squadron's predecessors were formed during World War II under the name 398th Bombardment Squadron. The first was a Third Air Force medium bomber Operational Training Unit, which was disbanded when the Army Air Forces reorganized its training units in the spring of 1944. The second was a very heavy operational unit that participated in the strategic bombing campaign against Japan, earning two Distinguished Unit Citations before inactivating in the Philippines after V-J Day. They were consolidated with the 98th in 1985.
The 98th Air Refueling Squadron was a Strategic Air Command tanker unit. It was active twice during the 1950s, then served with Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers from 1963 to 1998. It was converted to provisional status as an expeditionary unit in 2002.
