From: Harland French Email address Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 9:26 PM 5th Communications Squadron (DIV), which provided communications support for the 315th Air Division for all locations in Japan and Korea in support of the Troop Carrier missions. The headquarters was originally at Fuchu AS Japan and relocated to Tachikawa Japan in 1954. The 5th Communications Squadron was established in 1951 and continued in operation in Japan and Korea through the middle 1960's. The 5th Comm Sqdn also had a detachment on Okinawa through the middle 1960's. This squadron was unique in that it was a squadron assigned directly under the control of the 315th Air Division. They also provided base communications support at Tachikawa in association with the 374th Communications Squadron. Most of the 5th Comm Detachments in Korea worked in the same locations as the 315th Aerial Port squadrons. Thanks Harland W French CMSGT USAF Retired
