in June 1952, operating from a military cantonment area at Miami International Airport, Florida. The 482 TCW replaced the 906th Reserve Training Wing, which had been activated following the mobilization of the 435th Troop Carrier Wing (435 TCW) for the Korean War, as Air Force Reserve flying operations resumed under the supervision of the 2585th Air Force Reserve Training Center. In December, the 435 TCW was released from active duty and assumed the mission, personnel and equipment of the 482 TCW, which was inactivated. Fighter operations in the 1950s In the early 1950s, the Air Force determined that all its reserve units should be designed to augment the regular forces in the event of a national emergency. Six Air Force Reserve pilot training wings had no mobilization mission. On 18 May 1955, they were discontinued and replaced by three troop carrier wings and two fighter-bomber wings. In this reorganization, the 94th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing (94 TRW) at Dobbins Air Force Base, Georgia moved on paper to Scott Air Force Base, Illinois to replace the 8711th Pilot Training Wing. The 482d, now designated the 482d Fighter-Bomber Wing (482 FBW) took over the 94th's personnel and equipment at Dobbins AFB as one of the new Air Force Reserve fighter units. The wing began training for the fighter mission, initially using F-80 Shooting Star fighters, plus T-28 Trojan and T-33A Shooting Star trainers that it inherited from the 94 TRW. Later that year, it began to equip with the F-84 Thunderjet. Despite its fighter bomber designation, the wing was gained by Air Defense Command (ADC) upon mobilization. ADC required the wing's squadrons to be designed to augment active duty squadrons capable of performing air defense missions for an indefinite period after mobilization independently of their parent wing. In 1957, the wing began to replace its F-84s with F-86 Sabre aircraft. However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff were pressuring the Air Force to provide more wartime airlift. At the same time, about 150 C-119 Flying Boxcar aircraft became available from the active force. Consequently, in November 1956 the Air Force directed Continental Air Command (ConAC) to convert three Air Force reserve fighter bomber wings to troop carrier units during 1957. Sabre training ended and, instead, C-119 aircraft arrived in October 1957. In November the 482 TCW was inactivated and its assets transferred to the 445th Troop Carrier Wing (445 TCW).
