History
Airlift group
The 195th Air Transport Group was formed as the headquarters for the 195th Air Transport Squadron by November 1962.
In 1971, the group was replaced at Van Nuys by the 195th Tactical Airlift Group,[note 1] which was initially equipped with the Lockheed C-130A Hercules. In 1973, the group upgraded to the C-130B model of the Hercules. As the Vietnam War wound down, the demand for airlift decreased and the 146th Tactical Airlift Wing was reduced in size by inactivating the 195th Group and its components on 30 September 1974. The group's personnel, equipment and aircraft were reassigned to other units of the 146th Wing.[2]
Composite wing
In August 2015, the California Air National Guard announced that it was forming a new wing to manage its military intelligence, space, cyber and combat communications missions. The core of the new wing would be the 162d Combat Communications Group, which would be inactivated when the wing stood up.[3]
