The 655th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Group was activated Sept. 15, 2013, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and assigned to 10th Air Force. Initially, the group had seven squadrons assigned: 38th Intelligence Squadron, 42nd IS, 63rd IS, 64th IS, 71st IS, 50th IS, and 718th IS. Two of these squadrons were previously assigned to the 940th Operations Group at Beale AFB, California, and relieved of that assignment for reassignment to the 655th ISRG. The original staffing requirements for the 655th ISRG were 355 personnel.
