Tuskegee Airmen 332d AEW

Tuskegee Airmen 332d AEW poster art.

The 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing is stationed in Southwest Asia in an undisclosed location. Their heritage dates back to the Tuskegee Airmen, who formed the 332nd Fighter Group which later became the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing. They support Operation Inherent Resolve and utilize a variety of aircraft to accomplish the mission to include F-15E, F-16, HH-60G, and MQ-9. The unit is called the “Red Tails”.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, Black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to racial discrimination, both within and outside the army. All Black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field and were educated at Tuskegee University, located near Tuskegee, Alabama.
