“Yokota AB Japan 21st Special Operations Squadron” vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
The 21st Special Operations Squadron, which fell under the 352nd Special Operations Group, RAF Mildenhall, UK, was inactivated on 31 October 2007 with the inactivation ceremony taking place at RAF Mildenhall, UK on 9 October temporarily ending the Air Force Special Operations vertical lift mission in Europe. The inactivation of the “Dust Devils” was the first step in preparation for the arrival of the CV-22 tilt-rotor aircraft.
The 21st Special Operations Squadron‘s mission consisted of day or night, all-weather, low-level penetration of denied territory to provide infiltration, exfiltration, resupply, or fire support for elite air, ground, and naval forces. The unique capabilities of the MH-53J permitted the squadron to operate from unprepared landing zones.
