order of battle - korean war

A comprehensive order of battle refers to the identification, command structure, strength, and disposition of personnel, equipment, and units of an armed force. It encompasses the organization or hierarchy of military forces in preparation for a battle, detailing how units are deployed based on their combat effectiveness. Additionally, it includes listings that categorize military forces by unit type and quality of armament, as well as the dates they were involved in a particular war. The following information on the Korean War Educator is not comprehensive, but instead gives our readers a better understanding of the scope of our nation's military resources used in the Korean War.

Tactical Air Control Units

North American AT-6 Texan

The Texan trainer found a new life in Korea as a forward air control aircraft. To meet an urgent operational need for close air support of ground forces, the Texans flew "mosquito" missions, spotting enemy troops and guns and marking them with smoke rockets for USAF fighter attack. The T-6s of the 6147th Tactical Control Group performed invaluable work.

Units that flew the AT-6 in Korea were:

502nd Tactical Control Group - Temporary unit composed of:

605th Tactical Control Squadron: duration.
606th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron: duration.
607th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron: duration.
