The 755th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Group was activated Sept. 20, 2018, along with the activation of the 655th ISR Wing, at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. The 755th ISRG has seven squadrons assigned to it.
The 28th IS is one of the oldest squadrons assigned to the 655th ISR Wing. It was activated Aug. 1, 1944, at Dalhart Army Air Field, Texas, as the 28th Photographic Laboratory, Bombardment Group, Very Heavy. The group was moved to Harvard AAF, Nebraska, a few weeks later and rotated through Hawaii and Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands, before ultimately ending up on Northwest Field, Guam, in support of combat operations in the Pacific Theater. The 28th PL earned a World War II campaign streamer for the Air Offensive, Japan. After World War II, the squadron was inactivated at Northwest Field on Feb. 22, 1946. While the 28th PL, Bombardment Group, Very Heavy was still inactive, the 28th Reconnaissance Technical Squadron was activated May 1, 1950, at Rapid City, South Dakota, (later Ellsworth Air Force Base) as a brand new squadron.
They served there until April 15, 1955, when they were inactivated. On March 19, 2014, while still inactive, the 28th RTS was re-designated as the 28th IS. They were reactivated April 17, 2014, at Hurlburt Field, Florida, and assigned to the 655th ISR Group. The 28th PL was reconstituted and consolidated with the 28th IS Sept. 18, 2014, which made these two squadrons one with a shared history. The newly reborn 28th IS was tasked to deliver specialized collection, analysis and dissemination directly to their active-duty partners: Air Force Special Operations Command and 25th IS, which is a subordinate unit of the 363rd ISR Wing at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.
