The squadron was first activated as the 57th Troop Carrier Squadron during World War II. After training in the United States, it moved to the Southwest Pacific Theater, where it provided airlift support, earning a Philippine Presidential Unit Citation. Following V-J Day, it served briefly as part of the occupation forces before inactivating in Japan. The squadron was activated in the reserve in 1947, and served as a reserve unit until 1954. It was called to active duty during the Korean War, but remained in the United States. The squadron was activated again in 1966 as the 57th Military Airlift Squadron, when it replaced another squadron providing training to strategic airlift aircrews. It continued the training mission until 2001, when it was inactivated. Two years later, it was activated with its current mission and name.
The McDonnell Douglas/Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft developed for the United States Air Force during the 1980s and the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 carries forward the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II.
