1958 at Bergstrom Air Force Base, Texas, where it was assigned to the 4130th Strategic Wing. The squadron's first Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker arrived on 17 January 1959. The 4130th wing was established by SAC in a program to disperse its Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers over a larger number of bases, thus making it more difficult for the Soviet Union to knock out the entire fleet with a surprise first strike. The squadron provided air refueling primarily to the B-52s of the 4130th wing. Starting in 1960, one-third of the squadron's aircraft were maintained on fifteen-minute alert, fully fueled and ready for combat to reduce vulnerability to a Soviet missile strike. This was increased to half the squadron's aircraft in 1962. In August 1960, a crew from the 910th placed first in SAC's combat crew competition. In September 1963, the 340th Bombardment Wing assumed the aircraft, personnel, and equipment of the discontinued 4130th wing. The 4130th was a Major Command controlled (MAJCON) wing, which could not carry a permanent history or lineage, and SAC wanted to replace it with a permanent unit. The squadron transferred to the 340th wing as part of this reorganization. The 910th deployed aircrews and airplanes to support the Young Tiger task force in Southeast Asia, providing air refueling to tactical aircraft engaged in combat operations. In the summer of 1966, the 340th wing began to wind down operations in preparation for inactivation and transfer of Bergstrom to Tactical Air Command, and the wing and squadron were inactivated in the fall. War in Viet Nam The 310th Attack Squadron was activated in the late spring of 1969 at England Air Force Base, Louisiana. It was originally assigned to the 1st Special Operations Wing, but transferred to the 4410th Special Operations Training Group, when that group replaced the 1st at England. After training with the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly it moved to Bien Hoa Air Base, Viet Nam, where it was assigned to the 3d Tactical Fighter Wing. Its aircraft were transported to Southeast Asia on Douglas C-133 Cargomasters. Shortly after arriving in theater, it was inactivated and its personnel and equipment were transferred to the 8th Attack Squadron. In 1985 the three squadrons were consolidated into a single unit, but the consolidated unit has not been activated.
