Members of the 157th Air Refueling WIng stand at parade rest during their unit’s activation ceremony, Oct. 2, 2009, at Pease Air National Guard Base, N. H. The history of the 64th ARS dates back to 1942, when it was a troop carrier squadron. Between 1943 and 1952, the unit flew aerial transportation and evacuation missions. From 1953 to 1997, the squadron provided airlift services during the Vietnam War and to Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield. It was inactivated in 1997 but re-designated as a refueling squadron in 2002. The squadron was again disbanded in 2008, until its reactivation at Pease. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
