  • The 924th Air Refueling Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 93d Operations Group at Castle AFB, California, where it was inactivated on 31 October 1994. The earliest predecessor of the squadron was the 24th Transport Squadron which was activated at Morrison Field, Florida in 1942. The squadron supported the South Atlantic ferrying route of Air Corps Ferrying Command until it was disbanded in 1943. The 924th Air Refueling Squadron was activated at Castle in 1959. Through most of its existence it served as the "schoolhouse" for Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker crews. It was inactivated in 1992, just before Strategic Air Command was inactivated and responsibility for tanker training transferred to Air Mobility Command.
