History
Happy birthday 19th Operations Support Squadron. The 19th OSS originally activated as the 19th Airdrome Squadron at Bowman Field, Louisville, Kentucky, on January 4, 1943. During World War II, an airdrome squadron was a barebones airfield operations unit, capable of running a new or small airfield in the absence of the kind of larger service establishment that would be associated with one or more combat or training groups. As such, they were generally short-lived units cobbled together for specific missions.
