Per your request on the 315th Air Division, on skimming through the
book I mentioned, "The combat operations section of the 315th Air
Division prepared a manual on air drops entitled "Supply from the sky"
and disseminated the booklet to all Army units likely to require or
order airdrops."
Also "The 315th Air Divison's first major maneuver with the 187th
Regimental Combat Team was the hurried airlift of its personnel,
vehicles and equipment to Kimpo immediately after the arrival of
airborne unit in the Far East in October, 1950. From that time on,
the 315th Air Division has been allied with the 187 RCT in a unique
Air Force-Army relationship which has been closer than any other
partnership in military history."
I would guess the 315th was the planning laison for drop supplies for
the army, and the one that gave the drop orders to the 483rd Wing,
314th Group down to the squadrons. Hope this helps.
