It was inactivated on 1 November 2005.
In the spring of 1994, HQ USAFE received permission from HQ USAF to use the 32d designation for the new32d Air Operations Group. The 32d Tactical Fighter Squadron was redesigned the 32d Air Operations Squadron on 1 July 1994 following their departure from Soesterberg Air Base. The squadron assigned to the 32d Air Operations Group, formerly the 32d Fighter Group, which was also redesigned on 1 July 1994. Both the group and the squadron were assigned toRamstein Air Base, Germany, under the USAFE Theater Air and Space-operations Center. The 32d Air Operations Squadron was inactivated on 1 November 2005.n 1954,the Netherlandsgovernment agreed, at the instigation ofNATO, to accept the offer of the American government to deploy a squadron of American military planes. The task of the squadron would be to provide a contribution to Dutch air defense, within the context of NATO. The512th Fighter Day Squadron, stationed atRAF Manstonin Great Britain, was detailed by the Headquarters of the USAFE for transference to the Netherlands. Its new home base would beSoesterberg Air Base. The first group of American airmen, compromised quartermasters and air traffic controllers, arrived at Soesterberg on 6 October 1954.In September 1955, the 512th moved toRAF Bentwaters, England without personnel or equipment. Its 28North American F-86F Sabres,[3]personnel and equipment however stayed in the Netherlands and were assigned to the newly activated32nd Fighter-Day Squadron(32nd FDS). The squadron designation was chosen by the USAF in light of the World War II ties by the squadron to the defense of Dutch possessions in the Caribbean, giving the unit a historical link to the Netherlands. The 32nd was assigned to the36th Fighter-Day WingatBitburg Air Basein West Germany,[2]its historical parent unit at the time of its activation. On 15 August 1956, the 32nd FDS began to receive theNorth American F-100C Super Sabre.[4]On 1 July 1969, the USAF redesignated the unit as the32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron(32nd TFS) and reequipped the squadron with theMcDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II, with the first two (68-0401and68-0405) arriving on 6 August 1969.[6]On 14 November 1969, the 32nd TFS lost their first Phantom when F-4E68-0422crashed on approach toAviano Air Base, Italy, after running out of fuel - both crew ejected safely.[7]On 21 June 1971, F-4E68-0433crashed nearMaurik, the Netherlands, killing both the crew after the pilot over corrected when trying to avoid a flock of birds.[8]In March 1976,the Wolfhoundsbegan receiving newerFY1974 F-4Es to replace their older models.[6]On 22 August 1977, F-4E Phantom II74-1051crashed into theNorth SeanearTerschellingafter suffering an engine flame out, killing both crew members.[9]On 19 October 1977, the USAF decided that the 32nd would receive theMcDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagleas part of Project Ready Eagle.[10][11]Throughout 1978, the majority of Phantoms were flown toRamstein Air Basein West Germany where they were assigned to the86th Tactical Fighter Wing, while others went toSpangdahlem Air BaseandHahn Air Base.[6]Whilethe Wolfhoundsunderwent conversion from the Phantom, the71st Tactical Fighter Squadronand94th Tactical Fighter Squadrondeployed to Soesterberg from 13 September to 20 December 1978 as part of Coronet Sandpiper to fulfil NATO\'s air defence commitment.[12]The first two F-15As (77-0074and77-0075) for the 32nd TFS arrived at Soesterberg on 13 September 1978, with the last jets arriving on 17 January 1979.[13]The 32nd TFS began receiving the more advanced F-15C in June 1980.[13]McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle79-0032of the 32nd TFS taxiing at Soesterberg, May 1986.Between 7 and 23 June 1982,the Wolfhoundshosted the 71st TFS who had deployed to Soesterberg as part of Coronet Sidewinder II.[14]The 32nd TFS hosted the 71st TFS once more between 1 and 29 June 1984 as part of Coronet Hawk.[15]The9th Tactical Fighter Squadrondeployed to Soesterberg between 20 May and 20 June 1986 under Coronet Apache.[16]On 4 July 1989, a pair of 32nd TFS F-15Cs scrambled to intercept what turned out to be an unoccupiedSoviet Air ForcesMiG-23M \'Flogger\'which had flown on autopilot from its base inBagicz, Poland, to West Germany after the pilot had ejected.

This unique honor was granted in recognition of the unit\'s contribution to the defense of The Netherlands and graphically illustrates the 32nd\'s close ties with theRoyal Netherlands Air Force.
